A combined team of officers with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Nigerian Army have carried out a raid on Akala area of Mushin, a notorious criminal hideout in Lagos.

The operation, which lasted several hours at the weekend, led to the arrest of 47 suspected drug traffickers and addicts with the seizure of 3,166.15kg of narcotics, including cannabis, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.

Chairman of the agency,  Ahmadu Giade, commended the Nigerian Army Commander, 9 Brigade Lagos, Brigadier-General Adeniyi Oyebade, for giving the needed back-up because of the notoriety of the area.

“The agency will continue to gather intelligence reports and conduct raids on criminal hideouts. We are prepared to clean up Lagos. This operation is a pointer to the fact that no criminal location is invincible. The understanding and cooperation of the Nigerian Army is highly commendable,” Giade stated.

In his reaction, Brigadier-General Oyebade urged stakeholders to support the NDLEA in the eradication of illegal drugs in the society.
