A clearing agent, Agoro Moninuola, has been arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency before a Federal High Court in Lagos over the alleged attempted exportation of 2.80 kilograms of cocaine to the United Kingdom through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
The defendant was arraigned on Tuesday before Justice Daniel Osiagor on a three-count charge bordering on conspiracy, unlawful procurement, and exportation of narcotic drugs.
The NDLEA prosecutor, Arit Okon, told the court that the defendant allegedly conspired with two persons identified as Azeez Nurudeen and Nuru, who are currently at large, to traffic the illicit substance abroad in April 2026.
Okon told the court that the alleged offence was carried out through the SAHCO Export Shed located within the customs area of the MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos.
She further informed the court that the cocaine consignment was intercepted during an outward examination of cargo before it could be exported to the United Kingdom.
