Operatives of Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Edo State arrest a husband and wife after a raid on a suspected drug warehouse in Benin City. Multiple outlets report that the agency makes the arrests following intelligence-led operations targeting an alleged stash used for storing and distributing illicit drugs. Premium Times adds that the raid occurs at a residential building along Sapele Road. During the operation, the NDLEA seizes a significant quantity of cannabis, with Premium Times reporting 412 kilograms. The Punch also describes the case as an NDLEA drug bust involving large quantities of illicit substances, while Daily Post Nigeria similarly says the suspected warehouse is uncovered and the couple is detained for alleged involvement. The NDLEA’s Edo command communicates the development through a statement released on Monday, according to the reports. The agency’s findings and the next steps in the case—such as further investigation or prosecution—are not detailed consistently across the sources. Overall, the reports agree on the location (Benin City, Edo State), the suspects (a couple), the nature of the allegation (warehouse operation), and the seizure of cannabis during the raid.
