Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency have arrested two persons, Azuka Emmanuel (55) and
Ndubuisi Okafor (23), with drugs worth over N2.5 billion in Cross River
State.
The state NDLEA Director, Mrs. Anthonia Edeh, who made
this disclosure in Calabar , said they were arrested on the Yahe-Ikom
transnational route with 76.050 kilograms of methamphetamine and 100.1kg
of ephedrine worth N2.5 billion. Edeh said the barons were intercepted
during a “stop-and-search” exercise carried out by NDLEA officials along
the route.
The director also explained that the methamphetamine was concealed in synthetic Golden Morn cereal packs while the ephedrine was hidden inside Semovita packs and five industrial fillers. While reiterating the commitment of the command to rid the state of illicit drug trade and consumption, she commended officers of the command for their gallantry.
Edeh, who also solicited the cooperation of members of the public for intelligence, promised that her agency would “demystify the activities of drug merchants in the state”.
The director warned the public to be mindful of methamphetamine which she described as harmful.
