The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted illicit drugs valued at N10.3 billion at Lagos port. The seizure represents a significant interdiction operation by Nigerian authorities targeting the drug trade.
The discovery was made following weeks of targeted tracking and monitoring of the shipment by operatives of the NDLEA's Maritime Intelligence Unit. The drugs originated from Montreal, Canada, and were intercepted during their transit through Lagos port, a major shipping hub on Nigeria's coast.
The operation demonstrates the agency's capacity to conduct sustained surveillance of suspected drug shipments and intercept contraband at ports of entry. The seizure adds to ongoing efforts by Nigerian authorities to combat the trafficking of illicit substances through the country's maritime infrastructure.
