Nigerian drug Baron nabbed

Nigeria's drug enforcement agency announced the weekend arrest of suspected drug baron Tochukwu Harris Ubah.

 Ubah was arrested  at Lagos port in connection with the seizure of 1,270 pounds of crystal meth and ephedrine used in small-scale production.

It was bound for Durban, South Africa.The first crystal meth labs in West Africa were discovered in Nigeria in 2011, and 10, smaller than industrial scale, have since been dismantled.

The West African Drug Commission has warned that drug lords are corrupting politicians and law enforcers, and even running for office themselves.
