Speaking to reporters, he said:"Based on the information, we set up a team to search vehicles from a particular company. 

About 11am we intercepted a vehicle carrying the substance and nabbed the suspect."Momodu, described the drug as "one of the most potent illicit drugs in the world, which has a lot of destructive tendencies on the user, adding that anyone under the influence of the dangerous drug can be influenced to make disastrous and harsh decisions. He said the chemicals used for the production were highly toxic aninvestigationld cause permanent destruction to the eco system"The waste from the drug is more toxic than the extracted substance. The people around where it is being produced are likely to be exposed to cancer and other incurable diseases, while children born in the area are likely to be deformed."The Commander said that apart from the three methamphetamine laboratories discovered at Nanka, Ozubulu and Obosi, he believed more exist.
