The operatives of NDLEA have also intercepted cocaine consignments concealed in lipsticks and property documents going to the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, respectively.

 

The illicit drug consignments were recovered from cargos being prepared for shipment at a courier company in Lagos on Thursday 3rd July, 2025, by NDLEA officers of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigation (DOGI) attached to the logistics firm.

 

NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said a total of 420grams of cocaine factory fitted in 84 pieces of female lipsticks heading to the UK were seized, while 280grams of the same Class A drug were uncovered in a property title document (Certificate of Occupancy, C of O) being sent to Saudi Arabia.

 

Meanwhile, a businessman, Ajah Johnson Uchenna and his wife Rosemary Uchenna along with their two daughters – Stella Uchenna and Ngozi Uchenna, as well as their family friend, Okoro Elijah, have been taken into custody after investigation revealed they run a major illicit drug distribution network in Lagos.

 

Babafemi said, “The couple was first arrested on Friday, June 13 by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Ojo area of the state and transferred to NDLEA along with 277.5kg skunk.

 

“While they were still being investigated in custody, credible intelligence revealed that the family business was going on in his house. This led to a raid of their home and a packing store where 231kg of same substance was recovered on Tuesday 1st July.

 

“Three persons arrested during the raid include their two daughters: Ngozi and Blessing as well as their family friend Okoro, who were running the family business in the absence of the couple.”

 

Also, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos on Wednesday 2nd July, intercepted a frequent flyer, Aburemi Hysent who specialises in conveying goods for customers from Nigeria to Italy and vice versa.

He was found to have hidden 7,660 pills of tramadol 225mg and 200mg inside food items packed among other goods he was conveying to Italy.

Hysent claimed he was to be paid the sum of 800 euros upon successful delivery of the drug consignment in Italy.
