The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted cocaine concealed in prayer beads and locally-made shoes.
The NDLEA said the owner of the consignments was intercepted while attempting to smuggle the illicit substances into the Holy Land.
NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday, stated this in a statement posted on social media.
Part of the statement read that: “In this holy month when people are consecrating themselves and making supplications to their God, some persons were preoccupied with concealing cocaine in prayer beads and locally-made shoes to desecrate the precincts of the holy land in the holy month.
“They were, however, intercepted by #ndlea_nigeria officers as shown by the attached pictures.”
