was being investigated.
According to NDLEA spokesman, Mitchel Ofoyeju said:
“The raid operation was conducted following a tip-off. The NDLEA will
investigate the unlawful possession of drugs and transfer the suspects to
Department of State Service (DSS) for further investigation. It has not been
established if the suspects are linked to any revolutionary group.”
Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade commended the
officers for the arrest and pledged to work assiduously towards promoting
national security.
He added: “This arrest further validates the fact that
people take drugs for Dutch courage to perpetrate crimes. The Agency will
continue to promote national security through intelligence-led operations.”
