The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has revealed that it has uncovered a stash of cocaine and heroin in the palace of a traditional ruler in Anambra State.
This development was contained in a statement issued on Monday by NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Mr. Femi Babafemi.
According to the agency, its operatives at the Anambra State command recovered 58.5 grammes of cocaine and 13.9 grammes of heroin.
What was missing from the statement was the identity of the traditional ruler in whose palace the illicit drugs were found.
The anti-drug agency, however, said security personnel at the palace are helping to trace the owner of the consignment.
