Edo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday said a suspected drug baron known as Asrenre has abandoned 498kg of dried weeds that tested positive for skunk cannabis inside a shrine in Edo State.
The Edo State Commander of the agency, in a statement, said that narcotic agents recovered the illicit drugs abandoned by some members of the drug syndicate operating in Owan East Local Government Area.
According to him, the seizure was made based on a credible intelligence report which he said led to a coordinated raid at Igue Community on 22 May 2026.
