The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has busted a shipment of heroin and "loud," a strain of cannabis, concealed in LED rechargeable lamps and sofa metal legs through the export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.
They revealed that an automobile spare parts dealer, identified as Ejiofor Nnaemeka Chiwuzie, was behind the trafficking of these drugs.
Ejiofor was arrested on Tuesday, 24th September 2024, at the Trade Fair Complex in the Ojo area of Lagos, where he sells automobile spare parts. This followed the seizure of his cargo, which contained auto parts, rechargeable lamps, sofa metal legs, and electronics, all destined for Liberia at the export shed of the Lagos airport.
Concealed inside the LED lamps and sofa legs were 37 parcels of heroin weighing 1.10 kilograms and four blocks of "loud" weighing a total of 1.20 kilograms. A swift follow-up operation led to the arrest of two freight agents and then Ejiofor, who sent the consignment.
