NDLEA seizes U.S. and Europe-bound illicit drugs concealed in shoe, and clothes in Lagos.
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have intercepted various quantities of cocaine and opioids such as tramadol, pentazocine injection, morphine sulfatee, and ketamine injection, among others concealed in soles of shoes, clothes, and other items being shipped to the United States, United Kingdom, and Cyprus.
This was disclosed by NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, July 14, 2024.
According to him, “While no less than 250 grams of cocaine going to Cyprus was hidden in soles of custom-made shoes, over five kilograms of opioids heading to the US and UK were discovered by NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigations, DOGI, in clothes and other household items meant to be shipped through some courier firms in Lagos.
