Massive Cocaine Haul: N4.4 Billion Worth Seized by NDLEA on Ethiopian Flight
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) recently made a significant seizure of cocaine valued at approximately N4.4 billion on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
The massive haul was intercepted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, as the agency continues its intensive efforts to combat drug trafficking in Nigeria.
The drugs were reportedly concealed within the luggage on the flight, and NDLEA operatives were able to identify and confiscate the illicit substances before they entered the local market.
This seizure is part of an ongoing crackdown on drug smuggling operations, which have seen an increase in recent years as traffickers attempt to use Nigeria as a transit hub.
The NDLEA has emphasized its commitment to disrupting the drug trade and holding those involved accountable, warning traffickers that the agency is constantly enhancing its detection and enforcement capabilities.
This recent success underscores the agency’s dedication to protecting communities from the dangers associated with drug trafficking and abuse.
