Three arrested after NDLEA’s sniffer dogs uncovered illicit dr¥gs concealed in bunches of fishing threads

Operatives of the National Dr¥g Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested three traders at the Trade Fair Complex in Ojo area of Lagos.

The suspects, identified as Nwudele Basil Christopher, Chiedu Ezenwani Francis and Donatus Nwojiji, were arrested in connection with attempts to export 52.10 kilograms of ephedrine, a precursor chemical and active ingredient for the production of methamphetamine.

NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, February 19, said the illicit dr¥g was concealed in bunches of fishing threads and packed among other items in jumbo sacks that were intercepted at the SAHCO export shed of the Lagos airport on Sunday, January 31 and Monday, February 1.

“It took the painstaking efforts of NDLEA officers and deployment of sniffer dogs to be able to discover the complex mode of concealment of the illicit substance,” he said.
