In the same vein, NDLEA operatives at the NAHCO Export shed of the MMIA on Friday July 19, intercepted two jumbo bags going to Pakistan.

The bags contained dried hibiscus leaves, dried bitter leaves and other food items, which were used to conceal four parcels of cocaine and 14 parcels of Loud, both weighing 1.360kg.

The NDLEA explained that further investigations led to the arrest of a businesswoman, Eze Queen Ogechi who claimed she was sending the illicit consignment to Pakistan on the instruction of her brother, Eze Nnamdi Promise based in the South Asia country.

Also at the Lagos airport, NDLEA operatives attached to Terminal II, Departure Gate of the MMIA, on Thursday July 18, arrested a male Beninese passenger, Orobi Adoubi Amen while travelling with a bag containing some female native dresses.

The suspect was going to Dubai via Accra, Ghana on an Air Peace Airline flight and a connecting flight to Dubai, UAE on Emirates Airline.

A thorough search of the bag revealed that eight parcels of Loud weighing 2.10kg were concealed in the ladies’ native wears.

The suspect claimed he was given the consignment for a fee of N600,000 on successful delivery in Dubai.
