NDLEA discovers drugs hidden inside sofa chairs and women’s caps imported from Nigeria
The Nigerian Drug Prevention and Labor Agency (NDLEA) has seized a large load of drugs hidden in imported furniture, especially traditional women’s sofa chairs and hats.
Femi Babafemi, posted on his X page on Sunday, was among the new achievements of the agency.
He also released videos showing how the drug was discovered.
In the video, NDLEA agents were seen opening large boxes of sofa chairs set inside. After removing the exterior covers and the foam inside the chairs, officers discovered several packets of drugs hidden inside them.
In a similar case, officers searched women’s hats, where they cut off the covering material and identifying several packets of drug seized or hidden inside the material.
In part of the video, lines of widely covered sacks, containing dried leaves suspected of drug addicts, after being rescued.
This clash is part of the ongoing NDLEA war against drug traffickers, who use daily resources and human resources to hide drugs to import them to Nigeria or export them to other countries.
In recent years, the agency has discovered such hidden drugs in furniture, hats, shoes, electronics and other imported items through stations, airports and shipping companies.
This shows how drug traffickers are creating new strategies to avoid security agencies.
