About 76.9kg of Canadian loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, from four used vehicles, in a container marked MSDU6686346 from Canada, have been
intercepted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at the Port Harcourt Ports Complex, Onne, Rivers State.
Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson for the NDLEA, in a statement on Sunday, said that the seizure followed the request for 100% examination of the shipment as a result of earlier intelligence received by the agency on the container. He added that the operation, involving hundreds of well-armed NDLEA operatives in the early hours of Tuesday, May 30, followed intelligence that a wanted drug kingpin had stored tons of the illicit substance in the forest ready for distribution to other parts of the country.
He stated that in Borno State, two suspects, Abubakar Usman and Adamu Yusuf, were arrested at Bargu village, Shani Local Government Area, on June 3, with 165 blocks of skunk weighing 140.7kg, adding that their arrest was effected with military support, deep inside insurgents’ environment.
