The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency says it has seized cocaine worth N4.4 billion naira at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
According to Babafemi, the drug consignments were wrapped in nine polythene bags and hidden in waste collectors in the two rear lavatories of an Ethiopian Airlines flight ET900. “Investigations revealed that the seized drugs were conveyed from Brazil to Ethiopia through ingestion and excreted in Addis Ababa by a set of couriers while some other traffickers picked them up and attempted to smuggle them into Nigeria through the Lagos airport before their attempt was frustrated with the cooperation of the airline’s authorities and other airport stakeholders,” the statement reads.
