A Federal High Court will rule on an application by Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to destroy a seized clandestine methamphetamine production laboratory worth about ₦480 billion. Multiple reports say the facility is a “Nigerian-Mexican” meth production setup discovered in a remote forest in Ijebu East Local Government Area of Ogun State. The matter is before Justice Musa Kakaki of the Federal High Court in Lagos. NDLEA is seeking the court’s permission to destroy the laboratory following its discovery and seizure, with the court scheduled to deliver its decision on Friday. While the outlets provide consistent details about the laboratory’s location, alleged nature, and the planned destruction application, they differ only in the amount of background included and the specific phrasing used to describe the operation. The decision will determine whether NDLEA is authorized to proceed with destruction of the laboratory assets as requested in its application.
