Another 75 parcels of the same substance weighing 37.5 kilograms were seized from a container from Canada.
Nationwide Impact:

Ongoing Efforts:
The NDLEA continues its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) campaign, conducting sensitization activities across the country, including lectures in schools, worship centers, and communities. The agency’s Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), commended the officers involved in these successful operations and urged them to maintain their efforts in reducing both the supply and demand for drugs in Nigeria.

Thanks for the concepts you have discussed here. Moreover, I believe there are numerous factors which really keep your motor insurance premium straight down. One is, to take into account buying cars and trucks that are inside the good list of car insurance businesses. Cars which are expensive are more at risk of being snatched. Aside from that insurance policies are also based on the value of your car, so the higher in price it is, then the higher the particular premium you have to pay.
