The operatives, he said, arrested 160 suspects with different quantities of illicit substances during the raids.

“Also, two suspects: Abubakar Sallau, 55, and Nazifi Abdullahi, 25, were arrested on Saturday, May 13 along Kano-Maiduguri Road, with 5,000 pills of Tramadol 200mg.

“A total of 65,200 tablets of Tramadol and Exol-5 were seized from the duo of Adamu Nagati, 30, and Ali Nasiru, 35.

“This is even as operatives in Abuja also arrested 25 suspects in raids across Tora Bora, Gwarinpa village, 3rd Avenue in Gwarinpa, Karamo, Garki market, Sabongari Bwari and New Kucigoro IDP camp, within the FCT,” he said.

Meanwhile, NDLEA operatives have frustrated a bid to smuggle into Lagos a consignment of 24kg Cannabis indica.
