Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA seized 200 kilograms of illicit substances at the Lagos, Kano and Abuja airports last week.<\/p>\n

The agency\u2019s Director, Media and Advocacy, Mr Femi Babafemi, confirmed this in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He stated that a 41-year-old Adewuyi Olayinka was arrested while trying to export 650 grams of cocaine to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The drugs concealed in dry pepper and herbal concoction were supposed to be taken through the Skyway Aviation Handling Company export shed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the same vein, 107kg of hard drugs suspected to be Khat was seized at the cargo shed of the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, while being exported to Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe drug, which weighed 107kg, was concealed in golden colour cellophane bags covered with textile materials and labelled as tea with a view to deceive and mislead our officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe so-called tea raised the suspicion of officers at the cargo shed who insisted that it must be subjected to laboratory analysis before it will be allowed to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shipment was delayed until a sample was taken to our forensic laboratory for analysis. The result came out positive for Khat. It has since been seized and is now in our custody,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Babafemi also said an attempt by a trafficker to export 92.250kg of Khat using the Abuja airport was hindered too.<\/p>\n

He stated that the clearing agent processing the consignment for export lied that the cargo was dried moringa leaves, but upon laboratory tests, it turned out to be hard drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hard drug which was confiscated was packed in six cartons heading to Goussainville in France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
