According to him, “Lagos state was not known for large scale production of any of the destroyed drugs”.
He said: “We are not unmindful of the peculiarity of Lagos, being a state with an increasingly large population, relatively easy transportation network and accessibility through sea and land borders all of which enhance drug trafficking and abuse.
“It is in the realisation of these features that we have ensured an adequate number of formations in Lagos to address the identified enhancers. The NDLEA formations in Lagos State cover the hinterland, land borders and sea and airports to achieve effective coverage. The results are these huge seizures.“
