The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 41-year-old ex-convict and Malaysian returnee, Ndubuisi Udatu (alias Richard), for attempting to smuggle 2.7 kilograms of methamphetamine concealed inside two giant music speakers.

“He was found with two new music speakers containing four packages of methamphetamine and a cash exhibit of ₦22,300,” Babafemi said.

“Ndubuisi confessed to returning to Nigeria to resume drug trafficking after serving a jail term in Malaysia for similar offences.”

In a separate joint border operation with Customs officials at the Nigeria–Cameroon border in Mfum, Cross River State, NDLEA operatives arrested Odoh Peter Ikechukwu, 35, for trafficking 8,740 ampoules of assorted opioids, weighing 395kg. Seized substances include: 1,080 ampoules of fentanyl injection, 2,160 ampoules of morphine sulphate injection and 330 ampoules of midazolam injection.

In Kano, operatives on April 11 arrested Aliyu Ibrahim, 27, with 25,600 pills of Tramadol (225mg and 250mg) and 20 ATM cards in the Bachirawa area.

Similarly, in Abuja, 48-year-old Gambo Lawan was arrested at Wazobia Motor Park, Gwagwalada, after NDLEA officers intercepted a consignment containing 8,960 Tramadol pills during a routine check along Gwagwalada Expressway on April 7.

In Niger State, operatives recovered 124 kilograms of skunk (a potent strain of cannabis) from a Lexus vehicle (KTU 54 CU) driven by Ademiluyi Adedapo Collins, 58, on Mokwa–Jebba Road on April 11.

Beyond enforcement, NDLEA intensified its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) through sensitisation campaigns in schools, communities, and religious institutions. Recent outreach efforts include:

New Era Secondary School, Nteje, Anambra, Promise Land College, Ikotun Egbe, Lagos, Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi, FCT, Federal Polytechnic, Ayede, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, and Nurul Faruq Islamic Academy, Gombi, Adamawa.

NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), commended the agency’s operatives in Adamawa, Cross River, FCT, Kano, and Niger State for their outstanding performance.

“Our officers must not rest on their oars. We must continue to raise the bar in both our offensive operations against drug cartels and our advocacy for drug demand reduction,” Marwa charged.

BREAKING: Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church, Kidnap Over 20 Worshippers

Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church

BREAKING: Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church, Kidnap Over 20 Worshippers—-No fewer than 20 worshippers were abducted on Sunday, December 14, 2025, after gunmen attacked the First ECWA Church in Ayetoro Kiri, Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Local sources said the attackers stormed the church while a worship session was ongoing, firing sporadically to create panic among congregants.

Many worshippers reportedly fled the scene, while an undisclosed number were seized by the assailants, who later escaped through nearby bush paths.

The attack threw the otherwise quiet community into chaos, with residents describing widespread fear and confusion as the incident unfolded.

The abduction has heightened concerns over worsening insecurity in parts of Kogi State, where repeated attacks on rural communities and places of worship have left residents increasingly anxious and calling for stronger security measures.

SaharaReporters earlier on Sunday reported that one person, identified only as JayJay, was killed during the attack, while several worshippers were reportedly abducted.

This incident marked the second attack on a church in Okun land within weeks, heightening fears among residents and worshippers across the area.

A recent incident occurred on November 30, 2025, when armed men stormed a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area, abducting the cleric identified Orlando and about 13 worshippers during a service.

The attackers initially demanded ₦500 million in ransom, later reducing it to ₦200 million, giving the victims’ families a two-day ultimatum and warning of unspecified “consequences” if the demand was not met.

Residents also recalled that the Ayetoro Kiri community came under attack about three weeks ago, when armed assailants targeted a local school.

On that occasion, the community vigilante group reportedly repelled the attackers, preventing casualties and abductions.
