NDLEA seizes Europe-bound drugs concealed in tin
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) intercepted drugs concealed in a Milo tin that were about to be transported to Europe.
Disclosing this in a statement on his official X handle on Sunday, the NDLEA director of media and advocacy, Femi Babafemi, warned against receiving parcels with unknown content.
Accompanying the statement with a video, the NDLEA spokesperson said the suspect attempted to transport the illicit substance through two of his friends.
He also revealed that the worker nabbed at the Lagos Airport, as seen in a viral video last week, along with the mastermind who resides in Ghana, have also landed in NDLEA custody.
Sharing a video of the consignment, he wrote, “Reason why we advise you shouldn’t take any parcel you don’t know its content from anyone?
“A man attempted to send drugs concealed in Milo tins through two of his friends to Europe. Another one tried the same with a passenger at the airport, all in a matter of days.
“But for their vigilance… Well, the mastermind of the Lagos airport saga hibernating in Ghana and his agent in the viral airport video are now in #ndlea_nigeria custody + Updates on huge cocaine and tramadol seizures in Tincan port and Kano coming in our statement at noon,” he noted.
