The Director, Media, and Advocacy of the agency, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
According to the statement, the consignment, which weighed 90 kilograms was intercepted during a stop and search operation along Umuahia – Ikot Ekpene highway on Saturday, August 6.
Babafemi said the consignment was loaded into a public bus with registration number RSH 691XC at Ojuelegba in Lagos State.
He said the illicit drug weighing 30kg each drum was meant for Pastor Effiong, who was arrested in a follow-up operation at Oron beach in Oron.
He also added that the recovered Meth drums were meant for onward delivery to the Republic of Cameroon.
Babafemi said, “This comes on the heels of four seizures of the same illicit substance weighing 4.074kg going to Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
“This also comes with a 3kg cannabis sativa heading to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at some courier companies in Lagos.
