While briefing journalists at the command headquarters in Birnin Kebbi, the Customs Area Controller, Iheanacho Ernest Ojike, said the suspected smugglers of the items were intercepted at the Kebbi border areas as the illicit drugs are being moved to their destinations.
He said the seizures were possible based on the resilient and courageous efforts of the operation teams, intelligence unit, joint border patrol team and collaboration with other sister agencies in the state.
The lumps of Indian hemp were handed over to the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) while the seized diazepam tablets were handed over to NAFDAC.
