Oramalugo, who stated that he delivered the seized drugs to NDLEA Commander Usman Suleiman, noted that his command was able to intercept the items due to the sustained cooperation with pertinent units and other security agencies at state border stations.
Despite the mutiny in neighboring Niger Republic and subsequent border closure, the command still managed to generate N99,282,547 in July, and the duty paid value of the seized goods was N51,493,314.
