The agency also busted two ‘skuchies’ factories in Osun and Lagos states, just as two grandfathers were taken into custody over alleged drug trafficking.

The NDLEA Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, said no fewer than 5.2kg of cannabis sativa and opioids were discovered in the engine compartment of an interstate commercial bus marked VDY 187 XA on Thursday, March 7, on Gbongan-Ibadan Road, Osun State, by NDLEA officers on stop and search operation on the highway.

Babafemi said the bus driver, Iorliam Dominic, 35, who took responsibility for the concealment, was taken into custody for further investigation.
