The NDLEA has busted and dismantled two major clandestine laboratories in Lagos and Anambra state where dangerous illicit drug, crystal methamphetamine, called Mkpuru Mmiri in local parlance, were produced for distribution across Nigeria and export.

According to the Chairman of NDLEA, Marwa: “The first one, located in VGC, Estate, Lagos, is owned by a baron, Chris Emeka Nzewi, while the second, in Nise Community, Anambra State, was owned by Paul Ozoemenam.

The barons were arrested alongside Sunday Ukah, the cook or chemist that produced the dr#gs for them. The laboratory in Lagos was set up inside the Boys Quarter building of a four-bedroom duplex.

The owner of the laboratory in VGC, for instance, was producing this highly unstable and tœxic dr#g in a house where he lived with his family.
