The fight against illicit drugs in the country has recorded a huge
success with the discovery of a clandestine laboratory used in the
production of methamphetamine a dangerous drug that can destroy the
nervous system and cause hallucination.
The laboratory, a three bedroom bungalow located at Monkey village
Iba a suburb in the state has a locally built equipment that has the
“capacity of procuring 20-50 kilogrames per cycle , large production
centre similar to the ones found in Mexico.” the NDLEA said.
Two suspects Bernard Umezuike 44, and Polycarp Ndilobi 41 were
arrested in connection with the illicit laboratory.
Mr. Umezurike is allegedly the owner of the apartment used for the
illicit production and the laboratory has been operation since last
April.
Luck ran out on the suspects when a worker in the laboratory and
alerted police of the secret laboratory and the NDLEA officers were
alerted to the scene of the crime.
Ahmadu Giade the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA said the
discovery of the laboratory is a landmark success. “This discovery is
the first of its type in west Africa and the country” Mr.Giade said .
The NDLEA boss describe methamphetamine as a killer drug with a
street value worth millions of naira. “The drug is a white odourless ,
bitter-tasting crystalline powders that easily dissolves in water or
alcohol and it is usually taken orally or intra-nasally by snorting
the powder or by the needle injection or by smoking” Mr. Giade said .
Street names for methamphetamine a derivative of Amphetamine include
“speed”, “meth”, “chalk”, “ice”. Cystal” and “glass”
“it is a strong stimulant that affects the central nervous system, the
abuse of even a small amount of methamphetamine can lead to many
negative and long term effects like extreme weight loss, severe dental
problems also known as “meth Mouth” anxiety, confusion, insomnia ,
mood disturbance, violence behaviour and other psychotic features like
hallucination.Mr. Giade said.
In order to curtail the adverse effect the drug poses to the
environment , the NDLEA boss said the country has invited forensic
experts from the US to help “dismantle the laboratory in a safe manner
,and they have commence the clean up process”
Unfortunately despite the cleansing process,Mr. Gaide said the
adverse effect of the drug will be difficult to wipe out completely
“the process adopted in the production of methamphetamine by the
suspect is very dangerous as the process usually emits gases like
phosphine and hydrogen chloride that can cause instant pulmonary
damages and death.
Besides, the toxic waste that percolated the soil is capable of
contaminating the soil and the wells of surrounding premises”Mr. Giade
said.
As a way of checking future incident, Mr. Giade urged the public to be
vigilant and to report suspected cases to the law enforcement
agencies. He also advise that the members of the public should purse
legitimate means of livelihood as the agency is well equipped to
detect and arrest drug barons and traffickers in the country adding
that the agency has began investigation into the case, and
preliminary investigations reveal that the suspects have international
connection in Mexico,
“ we have discovered a site where the illicit laboratory is located
there is a site two and we will locate that site soon, investigations
also reveals that the illicit drug is being produced for export and
not to be used in the country as its street value in Nigeria is too
low but very profitable in other country.
According to the NDLEA boss, One kilogramme of methamphetamine has a
street value in Nigeria cost N2.4million, while in a Japan it cost
N13.3million for a kilogramme, in Singapore a kilogrammes of
methamphetamine has a street value of N18million.
The suspects however denied the allegation.
Mr. Umezurike said “I do not know anything about this crime; I was
just standing in front of my house doing what every person living in a
house is doing when I was arrested”
Mitchell Ofoyeju, the spokes person of the NDLEA said the suspects
will soon be arraigned in court to face prosecution.
“The penalty for production of illicit drugs in the country is life
imprisonment; apart from its other effects to the health,
methamphetamine is also highly combustive and can be used for
explosives, we are soliciting the cooperation of the public to with
useful information to call the agency on 08062199999.” Mr. Ofoyeju
said .

The remains of a 48 years old housewife Elizabeth Andrew has been found hanging in her apartment at Isheri area of Lagos state.
Mrs Andrew a former staff of the state house at Dodan barracks allegedly committed suicide following depression as a result of her inability to conceive.
Her corpse was found dangling from a window on July 6th as she allegedly used a scarf to hang herself at her number 17 Irawo-owuro street Isheri-oshun.
Her husband, Chinedu Andrew 44 was said to have alerted the Isheri police station about the alleged suicide and her corpse was removed and taken to a public mortuary.
The police also arrested Mr. Andrew following allegation by the deceased brother Okechukwu that Mr. Andrew has a hand in the alleged suicide as he has maltreated his wife in the past.
Mr. Andrew, a second hand cloth dealer was subsequently arrested by officers from the homicide department at Panti Yaba for interrogation.
Mr. Andrew however denied killing his wife stating that his wife has been mentally ill and depressed following her inability to conceive; he stated that due to his wife’s ill health, her former employer at the state house at Dodan barracks, relieved her of her job, a situation which worsen her depression.
“I do not know anything about killing my wife “Mr. Andrew said “All I know is that my wife married late and she has fibroid and pile, she is mentally ill and this affected her life , she has been depressed because of these problems she was having and I have taken her to hospital for her health to become okay” Mr. Andrew said
Mr. Andrew narrated how his wife allegedly died that fateful day. “Due to her ill poor mental health she lost her job as a staff of the former State house at Dodan barracks so she was always staying at home doing nothing, that day I went to my shop where I sell second hand clothes and around 6.00pm I went home and I noticed that the day was locked, I called out to my wife but she did not respond,
I also went to the window but I could not see from the outside , I later called my wife’s family to ask if they have seen here but they said she did not come to visit them so that was how I ended up sleeping outside the house till the next day; when it was morning I went to hire a ladder and with the help of my neighbours , I climbed the roof where I saw her hanging from the window I screamed , so that was how we called the police” Mr. Andrew said .
Mr.Okechukwu the deceased brother however insists that his sister was murdered. He accused Mr. Andrew of maltreating his sister and causing her grief when she was alive.
“my brother in-law has not been a good person to my sister his wife, he was a lazy man who was relying on her for everything, even the house they live she was the one who paid , she bought him a bus to drive when he complained of not having any work to do but he later sold I the bus ,;the wife also gave him money several times for business which he squandered,; so his attitude toward her contributed to her ill health and eventual death and the police should investigate him because my sister is his second wife and his first wife also died mysteriously.”Mr. Okechukwu said.
A similar incident happened last week when a 26 -years -old lady, Motunrayo Obara , a former staff of Access bank in Lagos allegedly committed suicide at her sister’s residence at Allen Avenue following reports of depression and her inability to conceive. Her situation turned to the worse when fiancée called off their wedding, a move a friends and family said led to her to commit suicide.

Alausa robbery
By Patience Ogbo and Segun Balogun
ROBBERS USE JEEP TO TERRORISE Alausa visitors.
Workers and visitors at the Alausa secretariat are worried over the spate of robbery at the Alausa secretariat Ikeja the seat of power.
This follows the robbery on July 22nd when a gang of four men trailed an Accord salon car to the secretariat car park where they carted away millions of naira.
According to the police, the money belong to Lasun Yusuf an Osun state house of representative member who was at the secretariat to pay a courtesy visit to the Lagos state commissioner of information.
Mr. Yusuf told the police that he had withdrawn the sum of three million two hundred and fifty thousand naira from the Zenith bank at Ikeja and had successfully parked his car at the secretariat car park when he heard the alarm of his car ringing.
Eyewitnesses added that the gang came in a Land Rover jeep with registration number GB-878-ABC and had successfully stolen the money from the car but due to the alarm, they abandoned the jeep and ran on away
“When we heard the alarm go off we noticed that four men had hurriedly entered the jeep and they were running away, the people at the secretariat ran after them shouting ‘thief thief’ and they had to abandon their jeep and ran on their feet; while they were running, away they carried the money with them and a bundle of N500,000 fell down and was recovered.”
The police source added that a check on the car at the licensing office revealed the residence of the owner and his identity but when police trailed the suspect to his house at Akute area of the state , he had escaped with his family.
Early in May this year, a gang of armed robbers also raided the Lagos State Secretariat in Alausa carting away N3million.
The robbers reportedly burgled a Nissan Infinity SUV, with registration number FK670EKY, which belongs to a female contractor with the Lagos State Ministry of Rural Development, and was parked at the premises of the ministry. The owner of the vehicle, who came to see one of the directors in the ministry, was at a loss about how the robbers succeeded in breaking the side glass of the vehicle where she had kept the money without anyone, including the security personnel, noticing. She was, however, not available to speak on the incident as she was dazed. Her driver was also too shocked to speak with journalists as he had taken a little break to stretch his legs.
Explaining how the robbers carried out their raid, one of the neighbourhood watchers said: “The two jeeps just moved down here and blocked the road. I was wondering why they stopped at that place because there was no car blocking them, so I moved closer to them asking them to leave the road not knowing that they intended to steal from that car. Immediately the first jeep moved, the other one followed behind. Before I knew it, I saw the glass of the Infinity jeep had been broken, I called the driver of the car to ask him what had happened to the car.”
Poor security
A similar incident occurred last year when a gang of robbers invaded the secretariat close to the same spot where the robbers struck, burgled a Toyota Avensis car belonging to a civil servant, Azeezat Adegunwa, and carted away N1 million in the process.
“If this happened in advanced country, police would have come to cordon the vehicle and see if there is any trace evidence like fingerprint that could be used to identify the culprits,” said Musliu Adeagbo, an eye witness who identified himself as a security operative. “We lack proper crime scene management and crime investigation skill and that is why it’s easy for issues like this to happen.”
