The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it intercepted 8,287 nylon bags of substance suspected to be ‘Canadian Loud’ weighing 4,143.5 kilogrammes at the Apapa seaport in Lagos.
The Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, said this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
Mr Babafemi said the drugs worth over N10.3 billion in street value were discovered in a container imported from Canada during a joint examination of the shipment by NDLEA officers, Customs personnel and other security agencies on 10 July.
He said that the discovery followed weeks of targeted tracking and monitoring of the shipment since its departure from Montreal, Canada, by operatives of the Maritime Intelligence Unit of NDLEA.
According to him, this was in close collaboration with the Apapa Strategic Command of the agency.
