The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has dismantled a Nigerian-Mexican drug cartel operating a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in Eziama community, Obeagu, Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State. The agency also arrested and arraigned two suspected kingpins, 45-year-old Chukwu Christopher, alias Brown, and 60-year-old Chukwu Monday, alias George, over their alleged involvement in the operation. The suspects were allegedly working with Rodriguez Villanueva, a suspected member of a Mexican drug cartel based in Mexico City, following months of intelligence gathering and surveillance by the NDLEA. Christopher and Monday were arraigned before Justice Mabel Taiye Segun-Bello of the Federal High Court, Enugu Judicial Division, on a five-count charge bordering on conspiracy, organisation, management and financing of a drug trafficking organisation and unlawful possession.
