Nigeria Dismantles Largest Meth Lab as Mexican Cartel Pushes into Country Nigeria's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced the dismantling of its largest methamphetamine laboratory, a major blow to transnational organized crime groups operating within its borders.
The lab, located in a remote area of Kano state, was producing large quantities of high purity methamphetamine with estimated street values running into millions of dollars.
The methamphetamine crisis has been growing rapidly in Nigeria over the past decade, with reports suggesting that the country now accounts for a significant proportion of West Africa's total methamphetamine seizures.
