Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, in Ogun State have arrested three suspects and seized
115 bags of Cannabis Sativa, at a residence in Mowe area of the state.
The suspect, Benedict Joseph Theaddues alongside two others were apprehended on Wednesday, while loading the illicit substance weighing 1,600 kilograms into a Toyota Sienna bus and a Hummer bus.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Haris Musa, in a statement made available to DAILY POST said, the interception followed an intelligence-driven operation.
Musa noted that the interception reinforces the high level of operational vigilance, intelligence superiority, and uncompromising enforcement posture of the Command.

The command added that 316 drug users also benefitted from its counseling and rehabilitation interventions.
The Command’s Spokesperson asserted that the new feat is a clear message that there will be no respite, safe haven, or operational window for drug traffickers at any time or season.
