The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested two women identified as Boluwatife Adebayo and Omolade Fola Adebayo for drug dealing.

The agency said that it found in the possession of the two women different drugs.

“Ogah Sunday Adole and Boluwatife Adebayo were arrested at Agidingbi, Ikeja, in connection with 220grams of cannabis, 10.6 litres of codeine syrup, and other psychotropic substances,” the NDLEA  said.

In another raid, the agency recorded the arrest of one Omolade Fola Adebayo at Ijesha area of the state “with various quantities of cannabis, codeine syrup, rohypnol and molly.”

Similarly, the agency arrested a six-month pregnant woman, Amarachi Akaolisa, 25, and another lady, Ifeoma Iheanyi, 21.

The two women were among the six suspects nabbed for “dealing in illicit substances in Oraifite and Umuni-Evili, Aguleri, Anambra state.

Other suspects arrested during the raid  include Okwuchukwu Chukwuka; Onyedika Ngwu; Ekene Hyginus and Nzomiwu Ikechukwu.

“Recovered from them were over 6 kilograms of cannabis, tramadol, diazepam and codeine syrup in raids conducted NDLEA operatives between Tuesday 6th and Thursday 8th Feb in parts of the state.”

The anti-drug fight also recorded another feat with the arrest in Borno State of 42-year-old Ahmed Mohammed.

The suspect is a “supplier of illicit drugs to insurgents in Banki, a border region between Nigeria and Cameroon,” the agency stated.

“Ahmad Mohammed was arrested by NDLEA operatives on Friday 9th February at Bama check point.

“When his luggage was searched 20,000 capsules of tramadol were recovered from him while on his way to deliver the opioid consignment in the border town,” the agency told of Mohammed ‘s arrest.

In Ondo, some suspects, in their bid to beat security checks, had sprayed the cannabis loaded on a traveling truck with deodorants to prevent the substance from smelling and being detected.

But, the eagle-eyed officials could not be fooled. Despite the drug dealers’ gimmicks, the officials seized 633.5kgs of cannabis at Eleyere, Ogbese in Akure North LGA.

Another “59 jumbo bags of same substance loaded in a truck marked GAD 287 XA heading to Northern part of the country was also seized.

Some “192 packs of table water were loaded on top (of the cannabis) to conceal the illicit consignment,” the NDLEA said.
