The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has dismantled an industrial-scale methamphetamine laboratory. A Mexican drug kingpin was also arrested while attempting to flee the country. This breakthrough is part of a larger operation that reveals the efforts of transnational cartels to infiltrate rural areas.
The agency's Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa, announced the smashing of the laboratory, which followed months of investigation into a wider criminal network. The network is behind several clandestine drug laboratories uncovered this year.
Further details of the operation are available from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
