Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) raids a large methamphetamine production site linked to a Nigerian-Mexican drug network, arresting suspects and seizing drugs and related items. Multiple outlets report the operation takes place in Ogun State, with some describing additional actions in Lagos State. According to the reports, the lab is hidden in or near a remote forest or farm area in the Ijebu region of Ogun State. Investigators describe it as one of the largest meth labs discovered in Nigeria. The NDLEA arrests nine suspects in some accounts, including three Mexican nationals described as “technical experts” or “cooks,” along with Nigerian collaborators. One report also mentions a suspected drug “baron” or cartel kingpin. The seized drugs are reported to be valued at about N480 billion (Vanguard) or roughly $362 million (IOL) and about $363 million (The Independent/Independent). The Independent and ABC News describe the raid as part of a major operation against a syndicate involving Nigerians and Mexicans. Across coverage, the agencies emphasize coordinated enforcement actions and the dismantling of the production facility.
