Based on reports carried by The Harmattan News, the NDLEA in Adamawa says it seized 1,396.5kg of narcotics and arrested 150 suspects during December operations.
The command attributed the figures to enforcement sweeps and urged communities to report dealers, framing the push as a youth-protection campaign.
While the numbers are significant, longer-term impact depends on prosecution, intelligence-led targeting of financiers, and consistent interdiction across borders and interstate routes.
Alabingo repeated the briefing, quoting officials that the update was disclosed at a press conference in Yola, while Harmattan News also reported NDLEA “has seized 1,396.5 kg of narcotics and arrested 150 suspects.”
Echotitbits take:
Big seizures make headlines, but outcomes matter: track court cases, asset forfeitures, and whether syndicate leaders—not only couriers—are being identified. Also watch prevention work in hotspots.
