The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has uncovered underground tunnels, heavily secured doors and suspected escape routes in an unfinished building at Camp 74, near Government House in Asaba, Delta State.
The discovery followed intelligence reports about suspected drug-related activities at the property, which NSCDC operatives raided during an operation.
According to the corps, operatives struggled to gain access because multiple layers of iron doors secured the building. They reportedly spent three days attempting to breach the structure before eventually entering through the roof.

Inside, they discovered underground passages with separate entry and exit points, which investigators suspect may have served as escape routes.
Items recovered from the building and displayed at the NSCDC Delta State Command headquarters included suspected cannabis, PVC guns, syringes and other materials believed to be linked to possible criminal activities.
The discovery has raised concerns about the possible use of the property for drug trafficking and other crimes, including kidnapping and alleged organ harvesting. However, investigators have yet to establish the tunnels’ purpose or whether they were used for any of these activities.
Speaking on the discovery, Delta State NSCDC Commandant Chinedu Igbo said the corps would contact other relevant security agencies to support the investigation.

The corps said investigations were ongoing to establish the ownership of the property, determine the purpose of the underground passages and identify anyone else who might be linked to the building.
The discovery has raised security concerns among residents around Camp 74, particularly over the possibility that the tunnels may have been used for activities beyond those initially reported to security operatives.
