The unit successfully seized **150 wraps of cannabis sativa** and **15 wraps of Canadian Loud**, which were officially handed over to the **NDLEA** during a formal ceremony at the command headquarters in the Abia State capital. During the handover, the Area Controller emphasized that Customs officers remain dedicated to combating smuggling activities and preventing the circulation of harmful drugs across the region. He noted that while the primary responsibilities of the NCS include revenue generation, suppression of smuggling, and facilitation of legitimate trade, supporting the **NDLEA** and other security agencies remains a vital part of their extended mandate. According to the Controller, the Customs Service under the leadership of the Comptroller-General has continued to uphold its statutory duties with integrity. He stressed that intercepting dangerous substances such as cannabis and synthetic drugs is essential to protecting the moral fabric and health of Nigerian communities. The collaboration between Customs and the **NDLEA** ensures that seized narcotics are properly processed, investigated, and destroyed according to national protocols. He highlighted that the successful operation was the outcome of cross-sector intelligence sharing between Customs operatives and the **NDLEA**, demonstrating the importance of inter-agency cooperation. By exchanging credible intelligence, both agencies are better equipped to track smuggling routes, identify networks, and dismantle criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking. The representative of the **NDLEA** present at the event commended the Customs Service for its vigilance and its continued support in Nigeria’s ongoing fight against drug abuse and trafficking. He stated that both agencies share a unified vision: achieving effective border security and enhancing national safety. The **NDLEA**, he added, relies heavily on partnerships like this to strengthen enforcement capacity and improve nationwide drug control efforts.   Continuous collaboration between the NCS and the **NDLEA** is crucial for intercepting harmful substances before they penetrate communities. As cases of drug abuse and trafficking rise globally, the unified approach adopted by Nigerian agencies sets a strong example of coordinated security management. In the coming months, both the NCS and the **NDLEA** plan to intensify joint operations, intelligence sharing, and community education to curb the spread of illicit drugs. With stronger ties and shared objectives, these agencies remain committed to building a safer and drug-free Nigeria.   [by Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxJqM5sf1MM) [Cannabis Laws](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-laws) [Marijuana legalization](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/marijuana-legalization) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Medical Cannabis News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/medical-cannabis-news) [![Cannabis Has Drug-Drug Interaction Risks With Certain Chemotherapies](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/An%20image%20of%20a%20medical%20cannabis%20user%20undergoing%20cancer%20treatment%20and%20facing%20potential%20drugdrug%20interactions%20with%20certain%20chemotherapies.jpeg?width=550&height=395&name=An%20image%20of%20a%20medical%20cannabis%20user%20undergoing%20cancer%20treatment%20and%20facing%20potential%20drugdrug%20interactions%20with%20certain%20chemotherapies.jpeg)](https://420intel.com/blog/cannabis-has-drug-drug-interaction-risks-with-certain-chemotherapies) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 12 November 2024 #### [Cannabis Has Drug-Drug Interaction Risks With Certain Chemotherapies](https://420intel.com/blog/cannabis-has-drug-drug-interaction-risks-with-certain-chemotherapies) Cannabis use may impact the efficacy or side effect profile of patients undergoing active cancer...
