The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted over 2.3 million tablets of illicit drugs known as opioids and other psychoactive substances meant for distribution in seven northern states.
NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, identifying the states as Borno, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, Gombe, and Nasarawa.
He said the hard drugs were seized from locations across Kaduna, Kogi, Sokoto, and the FCT in a series of interdiction operations in the past week.
He said the driver of the vehicle conveying the drug, Osita Nwobodo, 45, who made fruitless bids to compromise the operatives is now in custody.
