The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested 60 individuals—25 males and 35 females—at a drug party in Abuja on Friday night. The arrests were made following credible intelligence about the event, organized by one Stanley Ikechukwu, who was also apprehended at the venue.

According to a statement by NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, the party, titled “Go Hard or Go Home. Pick Your Poison,” took place at an apartment in Sun City Estate in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“Among the arrested were Victoria Adoga, Hamza Yari, Joanne Essein Joy, Socchima Valentine, Jago Imole, and Charles Indobuibisi, who were found with various quantities of ecstasy and cannabis,” Babafemi stated.

Brigadier General Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, has ordered the unconditional release of 20 suspects who tested negative for drugs. The 33 individuals who tested positive for illicit substances will be released on bail and are required to report to the FCT Command of the agency on Monday to begin treatment and counseling.

In a separate operation in Edo State, NDLEA operatives raided a forest in Ugun, Igueben Local Government Area, apprehending four suspects and destroying 18,632.22 kilograms of cannabis cultivated on 7.452888 hectares of farmland. The suspects were identified as Endurance Okon, 24; Joseph Michael, 23; Ovoco Bright, 43; and Goday Abanum, 23.
