On July 10, 2024, in Edo State, NDLEA operatives seized a vehicle with the license plate Abuja GWA 273 DD at Ewu Junction in Esan Central LGA, following credible intelligence. They discovered 3,000 tramadol pills concealed in custard powder containers.

Further operations included the destruction of 5,429.751 kilograms of cannabis at Ohen Forest, Abudu, Edo State, on July 11, where four suspects—Godday Ariye, Friday Okafor, Obinna Nwosu, and Yusuf Adamu—were arrested. An additional 300 kilograms of cannabis were recovered from Uzzeba Obi Camp in Owan West LGA on July 13.

In Ogun State, a seizure of 2,865 kilograms of cannabis occurred on July 9 at Afami Ibese, with the suspected owner, Umar Ibese, currently at large. In Borno State, 2,455 kilograms of substances used for making Akuskura, a new psychoactive drug, were recovered from a warehouse in Konduga town on July 9. The following day, in Katsina State, 47 kilograms of cannabis were seized from Sabo Sule.

In Lagos, on July 8, NDLEA agents raided a warehouse in VGC, Lekki, recovering 148 cartons of non-medical nitrous oxide, 108 cartons of fast gas cylinders, 134 pieces of balloons, and 109 cartons of infusion chargers. Suliyat Abdulsalam, a female suspect, was arrested in connection with this seizure.

Reacting to these developments, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, praised the efforts of officers across various states for their successful operations. He acknowledged their vital role in reducing drug supply and emphasized the importance of continuing their diligent work.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
