The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have again apprehended two dispatch riders for allegedly distributing illicit drugs in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The two dispatch riders were arrested during a stop and search operation in Jabi area of Abuja for distributing illicit substances in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday, identified the suspects as 29-year-old Garba Sule and Isaac Augustine, 35.
While Sule was caught with 300 milligrams of pentazocine injection, Augustine was nabbed with 8.64grams of skunk packaged for delivery.

The latest arrest comes barely three weeks after the NDLEA officers arrested three dispatch riders over alleged drug distribution in Abuja.
While commending the officers for the arrests, seizures and their dexterity, the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd) enjoined them and their colleagues across the country to continue with the ongoing balanced approach to the drug control efforts of the agency.
