Nigerian court holds session at Ogun State meth lab site

Jul 23, 2026

The segment covers a Nigerian court visiting a forested methamphetamine lab site in Ogun State for an open-air evidence examination. The lab was the site of Nigeria's largest meth seizure by the NDLEA in May, involving nearly 2.7 tons of product and precursors valued at $363 million, with suspects including Mexican and Nigerian nationals. NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi highlighted international cartels establishing a production hub in the southwest. Defense counsel argued the evidence demonstrated production processes but not the finished product or possession as charged. Proceedings are set to resume Friday.
