Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have dismantled a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory hidden in Isiozi Obiato, Umuaka, in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State.
The operation, carried out on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, led to the recovery of 18.4 kilograms of methamphetamine, alongside a large cache of precursor chemicals and production equipment used in manufacturing the illicit substance.
According to the agency, the discovery marks a significant breakthrough in its sustained crackdown on local drug production networks. The laboratory was reportedly tucked away within the rural community in a bid to evade detection.
NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), commended officers involved in the operation, reiterating the agency’s commitment to dismantling drug production hubs across the country.
The bust is part of intensified nationwide efforts to curb both the supply and local manufacturing of hard drugs.
