Glamtush reports that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has detained Adrienne Munju, a 41-year-old Canadian, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for bringing in a sizable shipment of a potent synthetic cannabis strain known as “Canadian Loud.”

The suspect was taken into custody during the inward clearance of passengers on a KLM airline flight from Canada at Terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on October 3.

According to a statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday, during a joint examination of her three bags, Adrienne, who was in Nigeria for the first time, was found with 74 parcels of the illicit substance weighing 35.20 kilograms, stuffed in two of her three bags.

“In her statement, she claimed she was recruited to traffic the consignment through an online platform for 10,000 Canadian dollars upon successful delivery in Lagos. She said she took the offer because she needed the money to pay for her ongoing master’s degree programme in Canada,” he added.

 


Babafemi also said that 13,298,000 pills of opioids, including Tramadol, Tramaking Quick Action Tramadol, Tamol-X, Royal Tapentadol, and Carisoprodol, as well as 338,253 bottles of codeine-based cough syrup worth over N9,017,771,000, were recovered at the Port Harcourt Ports Onne, Rivers State.

He added, “The opioids were recovered in three containers coming from India, targeted by the NDLEA during a 100% joint examination of the cargoes with men of the Nigerian Customs and other port stakeholders on October 2 and 3, 2024.”

Similarly, at the Tincan seaport in Lagos, Babafemi said that 100 parcels of Canadian Loud weighing 50kg were intercepted on October 3.

He added that the consignment was packed in 20 parcels each in five jumbo bags concealed in a container with four units of imported vehicles that came from Canada.

He said, “Though the container had earlier been cleared out of the ESS Libra Bonded Terminal in Ikorodu based on credible intelligence, NDLEA operatives were able to trace it to a warehouse in Ikorodu where the illicit consignments were discovered in one of the imported vehicles, a Toyota Sienna bus.

“A suspect, Abubakar Shuaibu Ibrahim, has already been taken into custody in connection with the seizure.”

In Taraba, he said that NDLEA officers on October 3 intercepted a commercial bus marked JAL 198 YQ coming from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Jalingo.

He added that 80 blocks of cannabis weighing 38kg hidden in bags of garri were also recovered in the state.

“Large quantities of opioids: Tramadol, Rohypnol, and codeine-based syrup concealed in body compartments of the vehicle were recovered when it was searched, while two suspects, Pako Thomas and Emmanuel Anyigor, were arrested. Another suspect, Chibuzor Okafor, was arrested at Wukari on Wednesday, October 2, with 80 blocks of cannabis weighing 38kg hidden in bags of garri,” the statement added.

He noted that a suspect identified as Bolanle Ajenifuja was arrested on Friday, October 4, at Afo – the Media area of Ojo, Lagos.

Babafemi said that 700 litres of skuchies, a mixture of local chapman and a cocktail of illicit drugs, were recovered from her, while three suspects: Ezekiel Akpele, Elijah Michael, and Goddard John, were nabbed.

“On the same day, NDLEA operatives raided two cannabis farms located at Bridge Camp, a boundary community between Edo and Ondo states. Not less than 9,966.332kg of the substance was destroyed on over three hectares of farmland, with 48kg of the already processed psychoactive substance recovered,” the statement added.
