The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has marked the largest volume of seizures in agency history destroying 1.6 million kilograms of illicit drugs in Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo state.
The public destruction of the illicit substances witnessed by representatives of government officials, traditional rulers, clergymen, other security agencies, international partners, NGOs, and community leaders, among others, took place at Ipara, along Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Ogun state on Saturday 12th April 2025.
The drugs included cocaine, heroin, cannabis, codeine syrup, tramadol, skuchies, and methamphetamine. The NDLEA Chairman sterned a warning to those involved in drug trafficking that the times have changed and there will be no breathing space or any haven for them in Nigeria.
He stated that 10,572 offenders have been convicted in the past four years and are now serving jail terms.
This exercise is not merely symbolic; it is forensic, grounded in evidence, he asserted.
Nigerian crime, public health, and community involvement could all be significantly influenced by the NDLEA’s action which indicates a strong commitment to drug law enforcement.
