Mr Oghenovo said that the present administration in the state gave attention to drug control.
Earlier, officials uncovered 508 packages hidden among a shipment of celery in similar circumstances.
The NDLEA said the suspects were arrested, and the warehouses linked to the drugs were “taken down”.
The operatives also arrested seven of the drug kingpins behind the syndicates in separate raids in Kogi, Nasarawa and Benue States.
