The agency's state commander, Dr Mitchell Ofoyeju, made the announcement in Benin City on Monday, detailing the success of the command in recent weeks. In addition to the drug seizures, NDLEA also arrested three drug trafficking suspects and intercepted a vehicle carrying psychotropic substances, including codeine syrup, Tramadol, and Diazepam.
