 Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have busted three major interstate drug cartels supplying illicit substances to some states in the north. Recovered skunk and cocaine weighing over 843 kilograms and arrested at least seven of the drug kingpins behind the syndicates in separate raids carried out in Kogi, Nassarawa and Benway states. In a bid to evade the frequent road interdiction efforts by officers of Kogi State Command of the Agency, a cartel led by 1 Augustine Imanuam-45 opted to move its consignments through the waterways between Edo and Kogi states. Chairman, Chief Executive of the NDLEA Brigadier General Mohammed Bubar Marwa retired, commended the commander's officers and men of the Kogi Nassarawa and Benway Command of the Agency for taking the war against illicit drugs in Nigeria to the doorsteps of the cartels. He charged them not to relent but to remain resolute in the commitment to rid every community of the drug scourge.
