Officials said the seizure followed intelligence-led raids on hideouts used by drug traffickers. The recovered substances, believed to be destined for distribution in the city, were packed in large consignments and hidden to evade detection.
NDLEA spokespersons described the operation as part of ongoing efforts to curb the spread of narcotics in urban centres. They noted that drug abuse remains a serious threat to young people, fueling crime and health crises.
Residents in the affected areas welcomed the raid, saying the presence of illicit substances had long endangered their communities. The agency pledged to intensify its crackdown and bring those behind the trade to justice.
