NDLEA Open to Exporting Cannabis Oil, Bans Local Use

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has stated it is open to the controlled export of cannabis oil to boost foreign earnings but remains firmly opposed to its local consumption in Nigeria. Speaking at a scientific workshop, NDLEA Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd.) explained the agency's position. He emphasized that while the export of cannabis oil to countries where it is legal could be considered, such operations would be strictly licensed, monitored, and confined to export free zones. Marwa highlighted the significant health risks associated with cannabis, including mental health issues and addiction. He argued that for a country like Nigeria, which already has a high rate of substance abuse, allowing local use would be dangerous. The NDLEA is currently working with the Nigerian Academy of Science on an evidence-based study to guide the country's final policy […]

 NDLEA Busts Syndicate Behind UK-Bound Cocaine Shipments

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has smashed two major drug cartels responsible for shipping cocaine to the United Kingdom. In a series of intelligence-led operations in Lagos, the agency arrested five suspects, including the alleged ringleader, Alhaji Hammed Taofeek Ode. The syndicate was known for concealing drugs in everyday items like body cream containers, stainless steel cups, and hair gel. The breakthrough came on September 16th when NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport intercepted 13.4kg of cocaine hidden in cocoa butter body cream containers. This led to the arrest of a cargo agent and, after weeks of surveillance, the capture of the main suspect, Ode. In related busts, the agency foiled five other UK-bound shipments and arrested additional suspects, seizing more cocaine and other illicit drugs like cannabis, tramadol, and codeine syrup in operations across several states.
