Nigeria's anti-drug agency has announced the country's biggest-ever drug seizure, confiscating illicit drugs and chemicals valued at approximately $363 million.
Authorities arrested 10 suspects, including three Mexican nationals and seven Nigerians, during a major operation that led to the discovery of a massive methamphetamine production facility concealed deep within a forest.
Investigators said the operation resulted in the seizure of 2.4 tonnes of methamphetamine along with large quantities of precursor chemicals used in drug manufacturing. The clandestine laboratory is believed to be the largest meth production site ever uncovered in Nigeria.
Officials described the raid as a significant breakthrough in the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime, pledging to continue efforts to dismantle illegal drug networks operating across the country.
