The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ogun 1 Area Command has handed over N98 million worth of Cannabis sativa to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The Controller of Customs, Ogun 1 Command, Bamidele Makinde, handed over the illicit substances to the NDLEA in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Makinde revealed that 1,382 wraps of Cannabis sativa seized by the command were smuggled into Nigeria through illegal routes in Ogun State.
He pointed out that the handover of the seized Indian hemp was an indication of the synergy between NCS and NDLEA.
The NCS comptroller promised that Customs would continue to work hard to prevent the importation of illicit drugs into the nation.
The Ogun State commander of the NDLEA, Ibiba Odili, who received the items, conducted a field test on the exhibits using the UN-approved test kit.
