A Federal High Court in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, ordered the remand of six suspects – two Mexican nationals and four Nigerians – over their alleged involvement in the establishment and operation of a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory.
The court remanded the six individuals to custody pending further proceedings, a move that will keep them in detention while the investigation continues.
While the court described the meth lab as clandestine, it did not disclose details about its location or the extent of its operations in the order.
Oyo State, located in southwestern Nigeria, has seen a growing focus on curbing drug manufacturing, though no additional charges or evidence have been made public at this stage.
By remanding the suspects, the court aims to ensure that they remain available for questioning and that the integrity of the investigation is preserved.
