The Nigerian Navy and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in a joint operation in the fight against illicit drug trafficking has disrupted illegal drug activities across parts of Delta.
This is contained in an operational report by the Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, made available on Monday in Abuja.
Folorunsho said that the operation was conducted by personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) DELTA and operatives of the NDLEA as part of the ongoing efforts to sanitise the Nigerian Navy’s area of operations.
He said that the efforts aimed to deny criminal elements the freedom to traffic and distribute illicit substances in the area.
“The joint team carried out coordinated raids across the Urchie, Uvwiamuge, Orthokpor, and Usiefrun axes of Warri.
“The operation led to the arrest of one suspect and the seizure of various illicit substances, including Molly, Cannabis, and Skuruchi.
”It also dealt a significant blow to the local drug distribution network,” he said.
The director of naval information said that the successful operation underscored the strong collaboration between the navy and the NDLEA in addressing the nexus between illicit drug trafficking and other forms of criminality that threaten public safety and national security.
He reaffirmed the navy’s commitment to strengthening inter-agency cooperation and sustaining intelligence-driven operations
He said these operations aim to deny criminal elements the operating space to engage in activities that undermine peace, security, and lawful economic activities within its area of responsibility.
