The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted 12 large parcels of cocaine heading to the United Kingdom via a Virgin Atlantic Airline flight from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Ikeja, Lagos.

A statement by the NDLEA spokesman, Mr Femi Babafemi on Sunday in Abuja, said that the drugs were concealed in the false bottom of food flasks.

Babafemi said that the cocaine consignment with a gross weight of 2.80 kilograms was intercepted on Thursday, April 16, by NDLEA operatives attached to the export shed of the Lagos airport.

He said that two cargo agents involved in the export bid were swiftly arrested.

“Further investigation revealed a 52-year-old Freight and Forwarding agent as the sender of the consignment and he was arrested in a follow-up operation,” he said.

In a similar operation, NDLEA officers at the import shed of the Lagos airport on April 8, intercepted a consignment of Loud, a strong strain of cannabis.
Babafemi said that the drugs with a gross weight of 2.90 kilograms was concealed in snack food packs and arrived from the United States of America aboard a Delta Airlines flight.

“Two cargo clearing agents were initially arrested in connection with the seizure before the consignee, a 29-year-old fashion designer, was nabbed in a follow-up operation at 3  Oba Ogunji Road, Ogba, Lagos, on Monday.
