The Naval Outpost in Onitsha, Nigeria, has transferred 19 bags of suspected cannabis seized to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Anambra State. This transfer took place at the NDLEA Onitsha Unit on Tuesday, following the substances' recovery at Atani Community within Ogbaru Local Government Area. Commander Kabir Yusuf of the Naval Outpost disclosed that the illicit consignments were found during separate intelligence-led operations conducted in the command’s operational area.
The Forward Operating Base (FOB) Amiyi personnel at Atani Abo Community recovered the items during routine patrols. Following a subsequent operation, security forces discovered a warehouse used by the suspect to store illicit substances, leading to the discovery of an additional bag of suspected cannabis. The Naval Outpost emphasized the vigilance, professionalism, and readiness of their personnel in combating drug-related issues and ensuring societal safety.
The recovered substances were handed over to the NDLEA Onitsha Unit for further investigation and appropriate action. The NDLEA was requested to provide the Naval Outpost with the results of their investigation once completed.
