The seized drugs included substantial amounts of skunk (a type of cannabis), along with diazepam, tramadol, cocaine, Rohypnol, methamphetamine, ecstasy, and codeine syrup.
Even though there was pushback from suspected traffickers in areas like Durumi and Suleja, NDLEA agents managed to overpower these groups without any injuries, effectively breaking up their distribution channels.
During a discussion about the operation, NDLEA Chairman Mohamed Buba Marwa commended the officers for their professionalism and dedication to cleaning up the capital.
He also instructed that this approach be implemented in other high-risk cities across the country to strengthen the battle against drug trafficking.
