The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Edo State has arrested 31 suspects and seized 2,011 kilograms of illegal drugs during operations in December. The seizures highlight the agency’s ongoing commitment to tackling drug trafficking and abuse in the region.

According to NDLEA officials, the operation involved coordinated raids across multiple locations in Edo State. The contraband included cannabis, cocaine, and other illicit substances, which were intended for local distribution and beyond.

The agency emphasized that the arrests were part of a broader effort to dismantle criminal networks involved in drug trafficking. Investigations are ongoing, and NDLEA is working to identify additional suspects connected to the seized narcotics.

Authorities have urged the public to assist in reporting drug-related activities and warned that harsh penalties await those involved in the sale, distribution, or consumption of illegal substances. The NDLEA reaffirmed its commitment to curbing drug crimes and protecting communities.
