The Edo State Command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, in collaboration with personnel from the Nigerian Army, has recovered 65 bags of skunk cannabis 604.5kg in a raid in the state.
Commander of the state NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, who disclosed this in a statement on Monday, said the raid was carried out at a notorious drug hub in Ewe Luleha, Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State, on August 5, 2026.
He said the command has launched a manhunt for the fleeing suspected drug kingpin identified as Sunday, noting that he would be arrested soon.
“The operation carried out by men of the NDLEA and personnel of the Nigerian Army resulted in the seizure of 65 bags of dried weeds that tested positive for skunk cannabis, weighing 604.5kg.
“We are tracking the suspected drug kingpin, one Sunday, who is in hiding following the recovery of the 604.5kg of cannabis in the operation. He has nowhere to hide because we will certainly apprehend him.”
