NDLEA seizes London-bound crystal meth concealed in carton walls
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has seized London-bound 1.10kgs crystal methamphetamine.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, said operatives attached to the Skyway Aviation Handling Company Plc (SAHCO) export shed of the Lagos Airport intercepted the cargo going to London, United Kingdom.
“In the consignment containing food items packed in a carton, the four walls of the carton were used to conceal 1.10 kilogrammes of methamphetamine.
“The freight agent, Agholor Emmanuel, who presented the cargo for export, was immediately arrested.
“Another attempt to send a consignment of skunk and tramadol 225mg to the UAE by a Dubai-returnee, Innocent Nnamani, was also frustrated following his arrest at the Trade Fair complex in the Ojo area of Lagos.
“This is where he had gone in the company of his friend, Nwanana Ikechukwu, with the cargo to a freight company to process the consignment for export on Tuesday, February 7,” he said.
In the same vein, 79.1 kg skunk were seized during a raid in the Patey area of Lagos Island on Tuesday, February 7, by NDLEA operatives.
Mr Babafemi said 2,370.06 kilogrammes of cannabis and two boats seized at a jetty in Lagos by NSCDC operatives were handed over to the Lagos command of the agency.
