The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) destroys nearly 330,000kg of illicit drugs in Lagos in a court-ordered exercise, with an estimated street value of about N301.058 billion. NDLEA says the drugs have been taken out of circulation and include seizures from concluded cases and abandoned consignments.
Reports from multiple outlets describe the quantities as 329,865.585kg or “about” 330,000kg. The drugs named across coverage include cocaine, heroin, cannabis, methamphetamine, tramadol, and other opioids. While the outlets largely align on the figures and the purpose of the destruction, one outlet emphasizes the release of full details of the drugs involved, and another highlights related officials’ pledges of continued support for NDLEA operations in Lagos.
