    In a major crackdown on the illegal drug trade in the Federal Capital Territory, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has seized over N107 million worth of illicit and dangerous drugs from motor parks and markets across Abuja.

    According to a statement on Thursday via X, the agency’s Investigation & Enforcement/Federal Task Force Directorate, acting on intelligence from the Department of State Services (DSS), conducted raids targeting drug hawkers at Area 1 Motor Park, Dunamis Market Garki, Zuba Market, Nyanya Motor Park, and Asokoro over two days.

    “During the raid, the team arrested twenty suspects and confiscated over 50 wares of illegal and dangerous drugs, including Tramadol 225mg, Rohypnol, Diazepam, Cod Amol, aphrodisiacs, and codeine syrups. The estimated street value of the seized drugs is over ₦107 million,” the statement read.

    The operation, coordinated by the Kaduna and Abuja I&E/FTF offices, is part of an ongoing effort to rid public spaces of illegal drug hawking and ensure public safety.

    “The arrested individuals are under investigation, and all confiscated products will be destroyed,” the statement added.
