The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted N10 billion worth of cocaine, Ludes, opioids, and other illicit drugs at the Lagos ports.
The agency gave the breakdown in a statement issued by the director of media and advocacy, NDLEA, Mr. Femi Babafemi on Sunday in Abuja.
According to Babafemi, a 55-year-old businessman (name withheld) who deals in clothing at the popular Balogun market in Lagos Island was arrested over an attempt to export 3.30 kilograms of cocaine.
He said that the drugs were concealed in walls of cartons used to package foodstuffs going to the United Kingdom.
Babafemi said the suspect was arrested on Thursday, following the interception of his cocaine consignment at the export shed of the Lagos airport the previous day, Wednesday, by NDLEA operatives.
