Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have uncovered a secret laboratory producing a deadly substance, Methamphetamine, in Ikeja, Lagos.

The development was made known by the spokesperson for the anti-narcotics agency, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday.

Babafemi said packaged sachets of the drug and various precursor chemicals used in the production were recovered.

He added that the laboratory located at No. 4, Bode Oluwo Street, Mende, Maryland in Ikeja, was raided by anti-narcotics officers on June 6, following a credible intelligence and surveillance which confirmed illegal drug production in the building.
