A thorough search of his luggage led to the uncovering of 7.50 kilograms of skunk concealed inside crayfish mixed with dry bitter leaf.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the same vein, NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigations attached to some courier companies also intercepted Dubai-bound 2.9 kilograms of skunk and 14 grams of methamphetamine concealed in bags of Semovita and soles of ladies\u2019 high heel shoes respectively.<\/p>\n

In Imo state, operatives on patrol along Aba-Owerri expressway on Wednesday, 13th September, intercepted five pregnant teenage girls suspected to be victims of child trafficking used as baby factory. They were picked up while being relocated from their hideout in Naze area of Owerri to Ikenegbu area of the state capital.<\/p>\n

The victims include: Chioma Emmanuel, 15; Uma Faith, 15; Divine Adimonye, 17; Opara Gift, 15; and Amarachi Mbata, 16.<\/p>\n

In their statements, they claimed they didn\u2019t know the men who impregnated them. The Imo state command of the Agency has since been directed to hand them over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, (NAPTIP), for further investigations.<\/p>
