According to NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, the suspect was caught with large quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine. A coordinated operation led to the seizure of 7.6 kg of cocaine and 900 grams of methamphetamine from a courier, with additional drugs recovered from the kingpin’s residence.
