According to him, both syndicates were busted on Friday while trying to distribute their illegal substances for the Easter sales.
“In Nasarawa, Ashoko, 39, who hails from Ibilo in Akoko Edo area of Edo State, was arrested in Shinge, Lafia based on actionable intelligence.
“A team of operatives had stormed his warehouse in Lafia and recovered 100 bags of cannabis weighing about 1.1 tons or 1095.3 kg,” Babafemi said.
According to the Commander, Nasarawa State Command of the NDLEA, Mr Justice Arinze, “Sami Ashoko is the most wanted drug baron who has been on our watch list in Nasarawa State.
