The drugs were recovered from one of the mansions of a suspected billionaire drug baron, Ugochukwu Chukwukadibia, in the highbrow residential estate in Victoria Garden City, Lekki area of Lagos.
The arrest of Ugochukwu who is the Chairman of Autonation Motors Limited is coming barely two months after NDLEA uncovered a meth-amphetamine clandestine laboratory in the residence of another suspected drug kingpin in the estate, Chris Nzewi, who was arrested on Saturday 30th July along with a chemist, Sunday Ukah, who cooked the illicit drug for him.
Reacting to the latest drug haul, Chairman and Chief Executive officer of NDLEA, Retired Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa commended the officers and men involved in the operation for their diligence while also appreciating Nigerians for supporting the Agency in its arduous task of ridding the country of the menace of drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking.
