National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has busted a drug warehouse owned by a cartel in Delta State and arrested the leader, BRIDGET EMEKA.

The drug warehouse is said to be located within a palatial mansion owned by the 59-year-old drug baroness.

The Director, Media & Advocacy at the NDLEA, FEMI BABAFEMI, said the drug baroness has been under surveillance for weeks after she was identified as a major distributor of illicit drugs in the South-South region.

The NDLEA spokesman, who said the baroness is the major distributor of illicit drugs in the South-South, was arrested in her mansion where she cooks and distributes Crack Cocaine, Methamphetamine and other illicit substances.

No fewer than nine of her staff and associates were also arrested in coordinated simultaneous operations at her expansive residence and drug bunker, where she accommodates drug users and sells illicit substances to them and others in parts of Warri, Delta State.
