Six foreigners have been arrested by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
They were intercepted with two boats loaded with 1,960 kilogrammes of cannabis, popularly known as “Ghanaian Loud,” at Eleko Beach in Lekki, Lagos, on Christmas Eve.
The six foreigners who brought the consignments from Ghana were arrested during a midnight operation.
A statement on Sunday by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the suspects include two Ghanaians, Godsway John (38) and Freedom Kelvin (33); and four Beninese, Chegoun Hounsou (23), Gadabor Nyameto (47), Adantg Sasa (34), and Ayao Kayivi (21).
He added that the cannabis consignments were smuggled into Nigeria from Ghana through the waterways.
