Addressing newsmen in Lagos, Commodore Kolawale Oguntuga, the Commander of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) BEECROFT, said the cannabis was intercepted in Lekki and Badagry areas.

Commodore Oguntuga said the smugglers of the items fled on sighting the naval gunboats on patrol of the areas.

The commander, however, warned the perpetrators to desist or face the wrath of the law.

“With the aid of Falcon Eye, the navy is able to monitor or mount surveillance on the nation’s waters. The navy gunboats are constantly on patrol to ensure that criminals stay away from our waters and make it safe for trade.

“It is also its responsibility to defend the integrity of the nation. This we have demonstrated with the seizure of the large consignment of drugs,” he added.
