Operatives of the National Dr#g Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested two freight agents at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos State, with 26.20kg cannabis concealed in cereal packs.
The suspects were allegedly trying to smuggle the illicit dr#gs through the SAHCO shed to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, disclosed a statement issued on Sunday, September 25, said that the cannabis was abandoned at the shed before the airport security operatives transferred it to NDLEA.
He noted that further investigation by the NDLEA led to the arrest of a 34-year-old man, Olatunbosun Damilola Abimbola, who works at Ashadox Logistics Services, a cargo company, on Friday.
“He confessed to the crime but stated that he acted on the instructions of his Managing Director, Oloyede Shakiru Abiola, who was promptly arrested.
The 40-year-old indigene of Ibadan West LGA of Oyo State stated that due to the strict security measures put in place by the NDLEA, he was forced to abandon the cargo to avoid being detected,” the statement read.
