Babafemi said that the anti-narcotic agency had resolved to end the reign of drug barons and disconnect Nigeria from the global drug trafficking network.
“The agency will always record a strong performance every week.
“The agency boasts itself of intercepting largest heroine consignment of 51.90 kilograms recently in a 12-day well-coordinated operation in Lagos, which started on February 10.
“This led to freezing of 107 bank accounts associated with 14 members of the heroin cartel, and over ₦119 million found in some of the already traced bank accounts,” he said.
According to the director, with the recent heroin bust, NDLEA is sending a strong warning to drug traffickers in the state and the country.

“However, if they fail to desist from illicit drug trade, the long arm of the law will catch up with them,” he stated.
