Nigerian Army intercepts N4 million hemp headed for terrorists camp
A significant amount of marijuana was reportedly intercepted by Sector 2 Operation Hadin Kai troops in Yobe State on its way to a terrorist stronghold on the Nigeria-Niger border.

Brigadier General Umar Muazu, chief of staff to Sector 2 Commander Operation Hadin Kai, delivered the drug to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at its Damaturu headquarters yesterday.

According to Muazu, the courier fled after leaving the substance-carrying truck after spotting soldiers conducting a patrol.

The narcotics shipment, according to Muazu, was going to Tungus, a terrorist stronghold on the Nigeria-Niger Republic border.

“No suspect was arrested because they all abandoned their vehicle and ran away on sighting the patrolling team trying to catch up with him.

“They were taking these materials to the terrorist's enclave because these are the things that they take that make them act the way they are acting because there is no sensible human being that will do what they are doing without being intoxicated. Now it has been taken away from them and by the grace of God we are doing more to end these terrorists in the Northeast,” Muazu said.

In his remarks after receiving the exhibit, Peter Ogar, Yobe State Deputy Commandant of the NDLEA, on behalf of the Agency, thanked the military for the synergy they have established between other security agencies.

He told journalists that the 98 parcels of the drugs had a market value of over N4 million, and would be sent for forensic test.
