NDLEA BUSTS INTERNATIONAL DRUG CARTEL, SEIZES N5.3BN COCAINE IN LAGOS

Clever smuggling tactics foiled as NDLEA strikes major blow against global drug trafficking network.

The NDLEA intercepted a N5.3 billion cocaine shipment hidden in textile materials and charms at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed Airport, arresting three key cartel members linked to Nigeria, UK, Brazil, Australia, and UAE. Raids uncovered drugs, firearms, and drugs in multiple Lagos locations. Chairman Marwa hailed the operation as a warning that Nigeria won’t be a sanctuary for drug barons. Nationwide efforts continue against narcotics.
