NDLEA Seizes 2,326 kg Loud in Lagos, Raids Across States

Operatives of Nigeria's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency conducted a series of raids and arrests across multiple states last week, seizing large quantities of illicit drugs including more than two tons of a potent cannabis strain known as Loud from a mansion in Lagos.

The agency's Special Operations Unit raided a residence at 36 African Lane in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, on Friday, recovering 4,000 parcels of Loud weighing 2,326 kilograms with an estimated street value exceeding 5.8 billion naira. Officials said the property served as a storage and distribution point for the substance, which is a high-potency imported or synthetic variant popular in the local market. Authorities also seized two Mercedes-Benz buses and designer sachets used for retail packaging during the operation.

In the Ijora Badia area of Lagos on Wednesday, NDLEA officers dismantled a makeshift factory producing skuchies, a mixture of cannabis and other substances. Two suspects, Bose Jamiu and Gbenga Gege, were arrested at the site, where 270 litres of the processed drug and 106 grams of Tramadol 225mg were recovered.
