NDLEA Arrest Insurgents Drug Supplier.

Nigerian drug enforcement officials, known as the NDLEA, arrested 24 suspects and seized over 7.6 tons of illegal drugs in a series of raids across eight states. This included the capture of a man supplying drugs to insurgents and a pregnant woman involved in trafficking.

The biggest haul came in Nasarawa state, where a truck carrying over 4 tons of cannabis was intercepted. Three suspects were arrested. In the capital Abuja, agents stopped two trucks carrying a combined 2.8 tons of cannabis, leading to the arrest of five individuals.

The NDLEA also nabbed a man allegedly supplying drugs to insurgents in Borno state, along with a woman linked to a separate cannabis shipment. Smaller seizures were made in Ondo state, where attempts to mask the drugs' scent with detergent and water were foiled.

This news highlights the NDLEA's ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in Nigeria, including targeting suppliers linked to insurgent groups.
