Operatives of the Edo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, in collaboration with the Nigerian Army, have seized 65 bags of illicit drugs weighing 604.5 kilogrammes.
Dr Mitchell Ofoyefu, the Edo State commander of the agency, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen on Monday in Benin City.
Ofoyefu said the illicit drugs, which were tested positive for skunk cannabis, were seized during a raid at a notorious drug hub in Ewe Luleha community, Owan West Local Government Area of the state.
He said the incident happened on August 5, 2026. The agency has launched a manhunt for the fleeing suspected drug kingpin identified as Sunday.
“We are tracking the suspected drug kingpin, one Sunday, who is in hiding following the operation. He has nowhere to hide because we will certainly apprehend him,” Ofoyefu said.
