The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered a secret warehouse inside a residential estate in Lagos, recovering illicit drugs valued at N6.7 billion in a major offensive against opioid cartels operating across the country.
According to the Agency, the operation, guided by credible intelligence, intercepted a drug trafficking network preparing to distribute over 7.2 million pills of tramadol and 526,200 bottles of codeine syrup, substances known to fuel addiction, violent crime, and insecurity nationwide.
The raid also led to the arrest of the alleged drug baron and five members of his syndicate, marking another major breakthrough in the NDLEA’s nationwide crackdown on illicit drug distribution.
The Agency described the seizure as a significant victory for Nigerians, reaffirming its commitment to disrupting drug supply chains and combating substance abuse across the country.
