The 27th general election is fast approaching, and a disturbing trend is emerging: a surge in maritime channel drug and firearm smuggling across Nigeria. Recent seizures of illegal firearms and cannabis-infused edibles point to a growing problem, but who is truly behind these operations?

This investigation highlights the plight of innocent freight forwarders and truckers arrested for unknowingly transporting illicit goods. While security agencies intercept these containers, the real masterminds – importers, consignees, financiers, and manufacturers – often evade capture.

With crime syndicates seemingly operating with impunity as the 2027 election nears, a critical question arises: Is Nigeria safe, or is it heading into serious trouble?
