Four clearing agents are in custody in connection to the seizure.”

However, in reacting to the latest drug haul at the airport, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa on Sunday, commended the officers and men of the MMIA Command for their commitment to the nation’s crusade against illicit drugs.

“While I commend the officers and men of our MMIA Command, let me again warn unrepentant barons and traffickers that the game is up for them because we’ll continue to disrupt their criminal trade as part of efforts to secure our country and protect the future of our youths.”
