Nigerian Navy and NDLEA Disrupt Drug Trafficking in Warri

The Nigerian Navy, in collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), executed a successful operation in Warri, Delta State, aimed at disrupting drug trafficking activities. The operation, which involved personnel from the Nigerian Navy ship NN Delta, was part of ongoing efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking and enhance public safety.

A statement signed by Captain Abiodun Folorusho detailed that the coordinated raids took place across several locations, including Urchi, Uvwiamug, Orthokpor, and Usiefrun. The operation resulted in the arrest of suspects and the seizure of various illicit substances, including cannabis.

This successful operation underscores the strong collaboration between the Nigerian Navy and NDLEA in addressing the nexus of illicit drug trafficking, which poses a significant threat to national security. The Nigerian Navy remains committed to strengthening inter-agency cooperation and conducting intelligence-driven operations to deny criminal elements the freedom to operate.
