On his part, The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Brig Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa lauded the customs for the seizures.

Marwa, represented by Bashir Samuel Gadzama, the Director of Operations and General Investigation of NDLEA, said drugs are connected with the spread of crime in Nigeria.

He disclosed that the seizure would be immediately destroyed to guard against its circulation in society.

โ€œCustoms and NDLEA are setting the pace for what interagency collaboration should be.

โ€œFor every crime and criminality in Nigeria today, drugs play a significant role.

โ€œWe will not only take over the exhibit, but if there is a lead, we are ready to investigate. We ensure that we immediately destroy them. We are not going to give room for its circulation into societyโ€, he stated.
