The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arraigned two alleged kingpins, Chukwu Christopher also known as Brown and Chukwu Monday also known as George, before Justice Mabel Taiye Segun Bello of the Federal High Court in Enugu. The defendants face five counts arising from the operation of a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory in Eziama, Obeagu, Awgu Local Government Area.
The laboratory was run in association with a Mexican national, Rodriguez Villanueva, from Mexico City. Officers who examined the site recovered improvised reactors together with quantities of methylamine, toluene, acetone and hydrochloric acid, substances commonly associated with the illicit production of methamphetamine.
Two further persons linked to the operation, Uchenna also known as Uche and Celestine Ikemefuna Iwuchukwu, remain at large. The trial has been fixed for today, 21 October 2026.
