The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has successfully dismantled a significant methamphetamine production network linked to Mexico, marking a major achievement in the fight against drug trafficking in Nigeria. During coordinated operations in Ogun and Lagos States, the agency arrested a key cartel leader, three Mexican nationals identified as "meth cooks," and six Nigerian associates involved in the operation. The raids resulted in the seizure of methamphetamine valued at approximately $362 million, highlighting the scale and sophistication of the drug syndicate. This operation is considered the largest of its kind ever uncovered in Nigeria, reflecting the NDLEA's commitment to combating drug-related crimes.
