Why NDLEA Officials stormed our estate to seal apartment – By VGC
On Saturday, July 30 2022 at about 15:10hrs, officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) carried out a sting operation in K-5A/2, Road 14 based on intelligence gathering. The property is occupied by a tenant, Mr. & Mrs. Emeka Nzewi.
The operation confirmed a meth lab operation in the premises. Mr. Emeka Nzewi and accomplices have been arrested while the property will be sealed by the State Government.
Major takeaways from the incidents are:
NDLEA had been in trace of Mr. Emeka Nzewi since 2017
Property Owners do not conduct background checks of tenants before lease of properties. Such act exposes other residents to security risk.
Henceforth, VGCPORA will make background checks mandatory for new residents before access cards will be issued or renewed for existing residents.
The act of Mr. Emeka Nzewi has exposed all occupants of properties around Road 14 to hazardous meth lab chemicals used and waste generated from production.
According to the NDLEA Officials, all boreholes, water supply and plants 500 meters away from K-5A/2 Road 14 have been contaminated. Therefore, VGCPORA in conjunction with NDLEA will conduct test of water supply to properties around K-5A/2, Road 14.
The use of some domestic employees to distribute the drugs within the community. VGCPORA has a longstanding commitment to provide a safe, drug free environment.
Alcohol and drug misuse pose a threat to the health and safety of VGC and to the security of the community.
We request that you join hands with us to make VGC a drug free community. If you see something say something.
