The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has praised the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for intercepting a truck allegedly used to transport a large quantity of cannabis in Ondo State.
In a public statement, NNPC Ltd. described the NDLEA’s action as a demonstration of alertness and professionalism in the fight against drug trafficking. The agency recovered 2,145kg of suspected cannabis that was reportedly hidden in a concealed compartment of the vehicle.
The company, however, clarified that the truck does not belong to NNPC Ltd. Management said the vehicle is not part of its official fleet and has no connection to the company’s operations or authorized business partners.
NNPC Ltd. further expressed support for a thorough investigation into the matter. It said it is committed to working with security agencies to ensure that those responsible are identified and made to face the law.
The company reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on illegal activities and urged members of the public to rely only on verified information from official channels. Full details of the statement are available on the NNPC Ltd. website.
