Nigeria’s @ndlea_nigeria last week busted a Meth Lab in Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lagos, seizing 258kg of crystal meth and other chemicals. Lab producing 50kg of Meth weekly. Lab Owner, Chris Emeka Nzewi, lived on the premises with his family, including a 3-month old.
“Aside from the laboratory being close to the kitchen of the main house, the waste from the laboratory was channelled into the septic tank and soakaway in the compound, with a high risk of contamination of the water table of the entire neighbourhood [VGC].” — @ndlea_nigeria
“It is very important to note that the waste from methamphetamine production is dangerous to the ecosystem. The chemicals are toxic and once they seep into the soil, they contaminate the water table from which surrounding wells and boreholes draw their water.” — @ndlea_nigeria
“And citizens who unwittingly consume the water from such sources are exposed to heart and kidney ailments and other organ diseases. Neighbours, too, who inhale gases from the lab, are also susceptible to the same risk.” — @ndlea_nigeria
