The Western Marine Command of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) on Wednesday, handed over two arrested suspected drug peddlers to the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The Customs also handed over large quantity if Cannabis Sativa and Codeine to NDLEA and NAFDAC.
Comptroller Paul Bamisaiye,  Customs Area Controller (CAC), Western Marine Command, while handing over the illicit drugs and suspects recalled that just last week, on Friday February 21, 2025, the Command announced   the seizure of 53 sacks of Cannabis Sativa.
He said that in a recent operation by one of the command’s patrol teams, on Monday, February 24, 2025, within Badagry axis, two suspects with 29 loaves of Cannabis Sativa concealed in a sack of rebagged rice were intercepted.
“Today, we formally hand over 4,973 loaves of Cannabis Sativa, two suspects and 195 bottles of 300ml codeine to NDLEA and NAFDAC respectively for further investigation and prosecution. These seizures were made across the South-Western waterways, reaffirming our commitment at the Western Marine Command to securing our waterways and stopping illicit trade.
“This success is a result of strong inter-agency collaboration. No single agency can win this fight alone, and together, we are making a real impact,” the CAC asserted.
He extended his sincere appreciation to the Comptroller-General of Customs and the management team for providing the right equipment, welfare, and good working conditions that empowered its officers, “to carry out our duties effectively.
“To our colleagues in NDLEA and NAFDAC, we trust this handover will aid the fight against drug abuse and illicit trade. Our message to smugglers is clear—we are vigilant, we are resolute, and we will not relent.”
