According to Daily Post Nigeria and Daily Trust, the seizure occurred in the Sabon Gari area of Fagge Local Government Area, specifically at a residential apartment at No. 13 Apple Avenue, Nomansland. The operation took place barely 24 hours after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf launched the Rapid Response Squad.\n\nDaily Post Nigeria and Daily Trust report that the operation followed intelligence received via a reporting platform connected to the task force's command and call centre. During the raid, operatives arrested 34-year-old Gregory Ogbuji, who is allegedly associated with Seemark Pharma Ltd. The suspect has been charged under Section 249 of the Penal Code, while another suspect believed to be connected to the operation remains at large.",
