Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered no fewer than 442 parcels of Crystal Methamphetamine concealed in heads of fishes at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, August 14, said the fishes were packed in cartons for export to Dubai, UAE through the SAHCO shed of the airport.
“The 11.90kg consignment was brought to the SAHCO export shed of the airport on Friday, August 5, by a freight agent, Adekunle Oluwapelumi Paul, 32, from Yagba West LGA, Kogi State.
He was promptly arrested upon the discovery that the seven cartons he presented for export contained parcels of the dangerous drug wrapped with foil paper and concealed in the heads of hundreds of smoked catfish.”
