“Other members of the arrested lady’s cartel abducted the retired NDLEA personnel from that community who they assumed was still a serving officer, took him to a forest and demanded for the release of the suspect in custody before their victim would be freed,” he said.

Babafemi said NDLEA officers had, in the past week, arrested 110 drug dealers in nine states, dismantled their hideouts and seized assorted illicit substances.

He listed the states as Lagos, Benue, Kwara, Ondo, Kano, Nasarawa, Akwa Ibom, Oyo and Rivers.
