Based on intelligence received from the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States of America, men drawn from the two law enforcement agencies swooped in on the three suspects in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

In the two-day operation, massive warehouses and tents storing over 317,417 kilogrammes of the psychoactive substance were destroyed and set ablaze, while four suspects were arrested.
The Director, Media and Advocacy, of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, confirmed the seizures and arrests in a statement obtained by our correspondent.
