Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) conducted a significant raid at a shrine used to store illicit drugs in Lagos, arresting two suspects, Gbenga Abiodun and Sunday Abiodun.
According to NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, who disclosed the information on Sunday, October 27, 2024, the raid took place at the Igbo-Igunuko shrine, located at Alfa Beach in Ajah, Lagos. The operation led to the seizure of jumbo bags containing 2,760kg of Ghanaian Loud, a potent strain of cannabis.
Additionally, on the same day, a third suspect, Ademola Oyelakin, was apprehended along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with 770kg of the same substance.
In a related operation, Plateau State officers arrested 39-year-old Fadan Bindom in Pilgani village with 65.85kg of cannabis and 18 grams of tramadol. Another suspect, Sunday Agbata, 42, was detained in Jos South LGA with 5,830 tablets and ampoules of bromazepam, diazepam, and pentazocine injection on October 23.
In Edo State, NDLEA operatives confiscated 640kg of cannabis concealed in 80 jumbo bags of fresh vegetables at Ewu junction, Irrua, Esan Central LGA, and arrested 27-year-old Austin Oruamen. Meanwhile, in Osun State, Adereti Kazeem, 35, was caught with 133kg of cannabis in 200 blocks at Obalayan, Ile-Ife, on October 24.
The NDLEA’s recent operations highlight its ongoing commitment to tackling drug trafficking across multiple states in Nigeria.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
