Two suspected Indian hemp dealers, arrested during routine raids by operatives of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, in Lagos, attributed their activities to their inability to fend for their families.
Also recovered during the
raid, according to the NDLEA Lagos State commander, Mr. Aliyu Sule, was a
consignment of the drug weighing 658.8 kilogrammes at Alaba Rago area of the
state. He said: “Acting on intelligence report, we raided the water front at
Alaba Rago area where we found compressed dried weeds that tested positive for
cannabis. The team also raided Kasamu Street in Agege where 151.3 kilogrammes
of cannabis was found hidden in the ceiling. “Both seizures weighed 810.1
kilogrammes.
The two suspected cannabis
dealers, Raji Kabir,22, and Yusuf Bako, 19, arrested during the operation are
cooperating with our team of investigators.” Following the intelligence report
that the compressed cannabis originated from Ghana, NDLEA Chairman/Chief
Executive, Ahmadu Giade, has directed all commanders to intensify surveillance
along the water ways. He said: “I have directed commanders to intensify
maritime surveillance.”
