Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have busted three major interstate drug cartels supplying illicit substances to some states in the North.
They recovered Indian hemp and cocaine weighing over 843kgs.
The raids also led to the arrest of seven of the kingpins behind the drug syndicates in Kogi, Nasarawa and Benue states.
Spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi, said on Tuesday in Abuja that in a bid to evade the frequent road interdiction efforts by officers of the Kogi State command of the agency, a cartel led by one Augustine Emmanuel, 45, opted to move its consignments through the waterways between Edo and Kogi states.
