Attempt by a 24-year-old Thai lady, Ms. Pattaphi Wimonnat, to smuggle 43 parcels of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, weighing 46.60 kilograms into Nigeria through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA) Ikeja, Lagos, has been thwarted by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), who arrested her after discovering the illicit consignment in her boxes.

The suspect who confessed to being a hired drug trafficker was arrested on Thursday, February 20, 2025, during the inward clearance of passengers on Qatar Airways flight from Thailand via Doha, Qatar, at the arrival hall, terminal 2 of the Lagos Airport.

She said the drug cartel, which recruited her, promised to pay her $3,000 upon successful delivery of the illicit drug consignment in Nigeria.

Another bid by a drug trafficking syndicate to ship 68 parcels of Ghanaian Loud with a total weight of 42.2kg concealed in walls of crated cartons to London, UK, through the export shed of the Lagos Airport was also frustrated by NDLEA officers on Friday, February 21. Three suspects: a freight agent and two dispatch riders were initially arrested in connection with the seizure before the mastermind of the shipment, Samuel Bitris, was swiftly traced to his Exodus Estate, Ajah, Lagos home, where he was arrested.

At the Port Harcourt Port Complex, Onne, Rivers State, NDLEA officers on Thursday, February 20 intercepted 49 cartons containing 49,000 pills of tamol, a brand of tramadol 225mg in a 40ft container during a joint examination of the shipment with men of the Nigeria Customs Service and other security agencies.

Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), stated that their operational successes and those of their compatriots across the country, especially their balanced approach to drug supply reduction and drug demand reduction efforts were well appreciated.
