The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the forfeited assets were seized during raids and operations across the country.

Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the anti-narcotic agency stated this in Lagos State on Monday.

Its Commander, Ameh Inalegwu, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos Saturday.

The agency says it has recovered skunk and cocaine weighing over 843 kilograms and arrested at least seven of the drug kingpins behind the syndicates in separate raids carried out in Kogi, Nasarawa and Benue states.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said this when she appeared before the Senate Adhoc Committee set up by the Senate to look into circumstances that led to the arrest of Zainab Aliyu in Saudi Arabia last year over alleged possession of a banned substance, Tramadol.
