NDLEA seizes drugs hidden in commercial vehicle engine, tyres
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have seized drugs concealed in the engine compartments and tyre tubes of commercial vehicles.
The NDLEA director of media and advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this on his official X account on Sunday.
He also shared a video showing the intercepted contraband.
Lamenting the desperation of drug traffickers, he wondered if passengers should start inspecting vehicle components before they board.
He said, “Narco-trend update: The desperation by drug traffickers is appalling. So, should passengers start searching the engine compartment and tyre tubes of commercial vehicles before they board now? These videos provide some insight into why #ndlea_nigeria officers are on the highway.”
