The Nigerian Navy Ship BEECROFT has handed over 18 bags of cannabis sativa weighing about 756 kilogrammes to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

The handover took place on Friday at the NNS Beecroft parade ground, Apapa, Lagos State.

The Commander, NNS BEECROFT, Aiwuyor Adams-Aliu, while addressing journalists at the base, disclosed that the illicit consignments were recovered during separate intelligence-led operations conducted within the command’s operational area over the past few months.

He further described the handover as another significant milestone in the Navy’s sustained campaign against maritime crimes.
