The NDLEA Anambra State Command has reported securing 128 convictions and making 559 arrests over the past 11 months as part of its efforts to combat illicit drug activities in the region.

The Imo State Police Command has detained six officers who were seen in a viral video allegedly assaulting a young man in Ikeduru Local Government Area. Disciplinary procedures have commenced in response to the incident.

An Imo community has partnered with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and the Nigerian Navy to address drug abuse among students. The initiative focuses on raising awareness about the dangers of drug use and promoting healthy lifestyles among the youth.

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have dismantled a large methamphetamine laboratory operated by a Nigerian-Mexican cartel in Tapa Village, Oyo State. This operation led to the arrest of several individuals, including a Mexican national. The discovery is part of ongoing efforts to combat transnational drug syndicates in Nigeria, following a similar operation conducted four weeks prior, according to Ripples Nigeria.

The Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its operatives permitted armed bandits to pass through a checkpoint without challenge, stating that the individuals in the viral video are vigilantes, not bandits. The police emphasized the importance of accurate reporting regarding security matters.

A video circulating online has raised new concerns regarding security operations in North-West Nigeria, as it reportedly shows armed gunmen passing through a police checkpoint without being challenged. The footage has prompted discussions about the effectiveness of police measures in the area, according to Naija News.
