Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted a 20,000-litre fuel tanker loaded with 2,145kg of cannabis along the Akoko/Lokoja Expressway in Ondo State.
The tanker, marked MKA 960 XC, was intercepted on September 4 after the driver refused to stop during a chase. He later abandoned the vehicle at a church premises in Ugbe Akoko and fled into the bush.
A search revealed a concealed compartment containing 165 bags of cannabis, alongside the legitimate fuel cargo reportedly destined for Jos, Plateau State.
