IJEBU ODE, NIGERIA – The cooking cauldrons and vats of chemicals were left behind in an abandoned shed, hidden in a Nigerian forest, remnants of an alleged multimillion-dollar transnational meth operation.
Authorities Wednesday dismantled the crude, makeshift meth lab after an ongoing trial involving three Mexican nationals took a day to hold court proceedings on-site last week.
AFP visited the lab, in southwestern Ogun state, with officers from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) as they brought in a local welder and carpenter to dismantle the cauldrons and filtration equipment used to make the meth.
