The Army and NDLEA have apprehended a drug shipment being transported by terrorists.
The Nigerian Army’s 21 Armored Brigade and
the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency successfully intercepted a shipment of illicit substances
destined for Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
The joint operation, conducted in Konduga
Local Government Area, resulted in the seizure of 163 bags of a psychoactive substance known
locally as “Goom” or Akusukura”, totaling 2.5 tonnes of the illicit drug. This operation,
launched following a tip-off, highlights the crucial role of timely information in combating both
drug trafficking and terrorism.
The recovered items were handed over to the NDLEA team leader,
and the area was cordoned off by the military,
demonstrating the effectiveness of interagency collaboration in keeping Nigeria safe.
