NDLEA intercepts fuel tanker laden with hard drugs


Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on September 4, intercepted a 20,000-litre fuel tanker marked MKA 960 XC, and laden with bannded substances.


A statement from NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, says its operatives arrested the driver of the truck, who is notorious for evading arrest in the past. The agency says the truck was chased down by NDLEA officers along the Akoko/Lokoja expressway in Ondo state after its driver refused to stop.


Babafemi said the driver later abandoned the vehicle at a church premises in Ugbe Akoko, and fled into the bush. He said a search of the tanker revealed a false compartment concealing 165 bags of cannabis weighing 2,145kg alongside its legitimate fuel cargo destined for Jos, Plateau state.
