Meth Production in West Africa Growing
"It costs $1.5 thousand a kilo to produce in the region; if you can get that kilo to the streets of Tokyo, it's worth $150, 000". Production of the drug methamphetamine, known as Meth, is on the rise in West Africa, aimed at the "lucrative" markets of Asia. And according to officials, Nigeria seems to be the hub of production.
