The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it uncovers and seizes 498kg of cannabis in Edo State after two suspects are arrested. According to the Edo State Command of NDLEA, dried cannabis that tests positive for “skunk” was found hidden inside a shrine. The agency identifies one of the suspects as “Asrenre,” describing him as a suspected drug trafficker who abandons the drugs at the shrine and flees. The Punch reports that NDLEA operatives carry out the operation in Edo and arrest two suspects, while an ongoing manhunt targets the fleeing drug baron. Vanguard also states that two people are arrested in connection with the discovery and that the seized substance is abandoned within the shrine. Both reports focus on the same seizure, the arrests, and the need to locate the alleged trafficker responsible for the drugs. NDLEA’s statements frame the case as part of continued efforts to disrupt drug trafficking and trafficking networks in the state.
