NDLEA Arrests Three Suspects in Edo Drug Raid

Officers of the Edo State Command of the NDLEA conducted a raid at a notorious drug spot on Ihama Road, GRA, Benin City, resulting in the arrest of three suspects: Omoreghan Paul, 26, caught with 3.17 grams of Cannabis Loud, and Omoruyi Osarobo and Obed Osagie, both found with six cylinders of Nitrous Oxide. The area, known for open drug sales and addiction among young boys, saw a significant decrease in activity following the establishment of a 24-hour patrol team.

The Edo State Commander, Mitchell Ofoyeju, stated that the directive from Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd), Chairman and CEO of the NDLEA, to eliminate drug peddlers and commercial sex workers has shown positive results. Ofoyeju assured that operations would be intensified to ensure a drug-free Edo State, emphasizing that there would be no safe haven for drug traffickers.
