NDLEA Raids Mexican Cartel-Run Meth Lab in Oyo Forest, Arrests Five

NDLEA Raids Mexican Cartel-Run Meth Lab in Oyo Forest, Arrests Five — 1 of 8
1 / 8

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency uncovered a large-scale methamphetamine lab hidden deep in Tapa Village, Ibarapa North in Oyo State. Operatives arrested one Mexican national and four Nigerian suspects, seizing chemicals and finished product valued at billions of naira. This follow-up operation comes just weeks after a similar bust in Ogun State. NDLEA leadership says the growing involvement of Mexican cartel experts in Southwest Nigeria is alarming and vows to pursue these networks wherever they hide. Authorities are appealing for community tips to help identify and dismantle other clandestine drug facilities operating in remote forest areas.
