Army troops intercept illicit drugs in Ogun state

Published on April 04, 2025 at 11:06 AM

Troops of the Nigerian Army operating under the 81 Division Nigerian Army, on routine patrol around the Alamutu general area in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, acting on actionable intelligence, have intercepted a total of 320 wraps of a substance suspected to be Cannabis Sativa from a suspected transnational drug syndicate.

Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Olalekan Ayeni, Acting Deputy Director Army Public Relations, 81 Division Nigerian Army, in a statement said the interception, which was made on 2 April 2025, is part of the Division's efforts to support the relevant security agencies in the eradication of illicit drugs within their Area of Responsibility, AOR, as encapsulated in the Chief of Army Staff Command Philosophy.

“The suspects, who fled into a nearby bush on sighting the troops, were conveying the illicit drugs on two motorcycles. Troops recovered the exhibits and the motorcycles,” it said.

According to the statement, the recovered items have been handed over to the 35 Artillery Brigade Military Police for subsequent handover to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Ogun State Command, for further investigation.

The General Officer Commanding 81 Division Nigerian Army, Major General Farouk Mijinyawa, has commended the troops for their effort and charged them to upscale the crackdown against criminals, in order to rid the society of crime and provide a conducive environment for law-abiding citizens to carry out their daily activities without fear.

He warned would-be criminals to desist from such illegitimate means of livelihood or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
