In a significant operation, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested five female drug traffickers at the Seme border as they attempted to smuggle illicit substances into Lagos from Ghana.
The NDLEA's spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, announced the arrests in a statement on Sunday, August 25. The operation culminated in the capture of the syndicate leader, 42-year-old Olaribigbe Bashirat Feyisara, who had been under NDLEA surveillance for some time before her eventual apprehension on Wednesday, August 21.
Along with Feyisara, four other members of the group were also arrested: Abogun Fatimah Ladidi, Osibeluwo Tolulope Oluwaseun, Akanni Balikis Oluwatoyin, and Ajetumobi Amudalat.
At the time of their arrest, the operatives recovered 14 packs of Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, weighing a total of 6.97kg. The drugs were reportedly concealed in hidden compartments on their bodies.
This operation underscores the NDLEA's ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking, particularly at key border points where traffickers often attempt to smuggle illicit substances into the country.
