The Lagos state command of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has discovered
a methamphetamine lab in a residential building in
Ago Palace Way, Okota, Lagos.
Mr Chijioke, the Chief Executive Officer of Best
Fellows Nigeria Limited, was arrested during the
raid on the building, where meth was being
produced.
According to the NDLEA Lagos State commander,
Mr. Aliyu Sule, who made the disclosures on
Thursday, January 8, 7.6kg of methamphetamine,
nine drums of Toluene, a Toyota 4 Runner, a
Toyota Hiace bus and a pressure pot were
recovered from the laboratory in the building.
In his statement, Chijioke, stated that he was
introduced into the hard drugs business by a
friend.
The suspect said: “I only attended primary and
secondary schools before I went into trading. A
friend introduced me to the business of chemical
importation from China and Europe in 2012.
“A year later, I learned how to produce
methamphetamine because there is high profit in
it. I began to produce methamphetamine in my
house in 2013. My first production was bad
because of inexperience. Gradually, I was able to
perfect the process. That was how I got involved
in the drug business,” Chijioke added.
