TVC News gives no date for this seizure. The stored date, 11 October 2026, is that of the NDLEA statement (TVC News), so the seizure took place on that day or earlier.
Quantities
The statement gives one weight for the bags and the blocks together ("31 jumbo bags and 775 blocks of skunk weighing a combined 1,027kg"). "Skunk" is the agency's term for the cannabis.

Date of arrest
The stored date was 11 October 2026, the date of the NDLEA statement, because TVC News gives no date for this seizure. The NDLEA placard shown in the photo gallery of the TVC News report gives the date of arrest as "10-10-2026", so the stored date is now 10 October 2026 and the page has moved from News:2026-10-11/Trafficking/ndlea-arrests-a-man-with-1-027-kg-of-skunk-in-31-jumbo-bags-and-775-blocks-on-the-zaria-kaduna-expressway.
