Nigeria’s anti-drug agency said it had dismantled a methamphetamine syndicate in the largest seizure of ​its kind in the country, seizing drugs and chemicals ‌worth about $363 million and arresting 10 suspects, including three Mexicans. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said late on Wednesday that coordinated raids on ​a farm in Ogun state and linked properties ​in Lagos state, southwest Nigeria, uncovered an industrial-scale clandestine ⁠laboratory and yielded 2.4 tons of methamphetamine and chemical materials. NDLEA ​chief Mohamed Buba Marwa said the operation, carried out over ​48 hours after months of intelligence work, exposed a network importing foreign “technical expertise” to produce drugs locally. Seven suspects, including three Mexicans described as ​meth “cooks”, were arrested at the farm used as a lab ​in Ogun state’s Abidagba forest, while the alleged mastermind, Anochili Innocent, a ‌Nigerian, ⁠was detained at his Lagos residence. Follow-up operations brought total arrests to 10, the agency said.
