Mexican drug cartels are collaborating with Nigerian criminals to set up methamphetamine production facilities in Nigeria, according to recent police raids. In a rare judicial proceeding held in a remote forest area, three Mexican nationals and seven Nigerians were arrested for allegedly producing meth, a highly addictive synthetic drug. The Nigerian National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) called the seizure of over two tonnes of meth, valued at $360 million, the country's largest meth bust. Similar operations occurred in neighboring Oyo State, where a Mexican 'meth expert' was among those detained. These incidents highlight a growing trend of African countries, especially West Africa, becoming production hubs for synthetic drugs, with Mexican experts playing a key role. U.S. military command in Africa has supported local anti-drug efforts with intelligence.

While it highlights the involvement of Mexican cartels and Nigerian authorities, it does not take a clear ideological stance. The framing remains neutral, focusing on执法和
