Former Presidential Aide Reno Omokri Expresses Doubts Over The ₦194 Billion Cocaine Crackdown By The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, in a statement via his verified Twitter handle, said he hoped that the cocaine seized by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA in Ikorodu area of Lagos state, was not a plan by a certain person to finance his 2023 election. 

His tweet reads;

“I seriously hope a certain person was not planning to use the Ikorodu ₦193 billion cocaine that was seized by the NDLEA to finance his 2023 election. Because such a quantum of drugs in a warehouse is mind boggling! ₦193 billion is higher than some state’s budgets.”

Echoblog reported earlier today, Monday, that 1.8 tons (1,855 kilograms) of cocaine was discovered in a warehouse at the Ikorodu area of Lagos State by men of the NDLEA.

"Mr Omokri is most likely to get a robust reply on this one."
