NDLEA arrests two grandfathers selling drugs to students in Abia

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested two elderly men, aged 84 and 75, for allegedly selling illicit drugs to secondary school students in Umuahia, Abia State.

NDLEA arrests Brazil-based businessman, others in drug raids across Nigerian states

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a Brazil-based Nigerian businessman, Uche Franklin Onyekwere, for attempting to smuggle cocaine into the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, in coordinated operations across multiple states. Onyekwere, 47, was apprehended at the airport's arrival hall during the inward screening of passengers on a South African Airways flight from Brazil via Johannesburg, following intelligence-led profiling and surveillance. A body scan conducted on the suspect indicated the presence of concealed substances, and a subsequent strip search uncovered a large wrap of a white powdery substance, later confirmed to be cocaine, strapped to his right thigh.

NDLEA Foils Shipment of High-Potency Drugs Hidden in Water Purifiers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has foiled a shipment of high-potency opioids concealed inside industrial water purifiers, disrupting yet another sophisticated attempt to move dangerous drugs through Nigeria. According to the agency, the intercepted consignment contained large quantities of powerful opioids similar to those previously recovered from illegal warehouses, including high-strength tramadol and other controlled pharmaceutical substances. The traffickers allegedly packed the drugs in sealed compartments within the water purifiers to evade detection during routine checks. NDLEA officials said credible intelligence led operatives to the cargo before it could leave the country, with the operation coordinated alongside other security and port authorities. The seizure follows recent major busts in which the agency uncovered multi-billion naira opioid warehouses and dismantled a massive methamphetamine laboratory in Ogun State. The agency warned that criminal networks are increasingly turning to household and […]

NDLEA Arrests Chinese Woman with Drug Shipment at Lagos Airport

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a Chinese woman at Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos for attempting to travel with a drug consignment. Details released so far show the suspect was intercepted during clearance checks after officers flagged her luggage and travel profile for closer scrutiny. Preliminary findings indicate the consignment contained packaged illicit substances concealed in her shipment, consistent with recent attempts by international drug cartels to move methamphetamine, cocaine and potent cannabis strains such as Canadian Loud through Nigerian airports. In similar operations at Lagos and Kano airports this year, NDLEA has intercepted multiple cocaine and methamphetamine runs involving foreign nationals and China‑bound traffickers. The interception at Lagos airport comes amid a wider crackdown in which NDLEA has arrested a China‑based Nigerian auto dealer who ingested 95 wraps of cocaine on his way to […]
