Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered illicit drugs concealed in incense candles and ladies’ wear in Lagos.
The items, which include consignments of cocaine and “loud,” a synthetic strain of cannabis, were hidden in incense candles, game packs, dry hibiscus leaves, and ladies’ wear. This discovery was made at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
According to a statement released on Sunday by NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, the hard drugs were intended to be smuggled into and out of Nigeria through the airport. Babafemi also noted that several suspects have been apprehended in connection with the smuggling attempt.
This operation underscores the ongoing efforts of the NDLEA to combat drug trafficking and ensure that those involved in such illegal activities are brought to justice. The agency continues to strengthen its surveillance and enforcement measures to curb the smuggling of illicit drugs into the country.
