The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted a significant consignment of illicit substances, including 47,200 Captagon pills, at the Lagos airport. The drugs were discovered hidden within blocks of soap during a routine search operation conducted by agency officials.
The NDLEA has estimated the total value of the seized narcotics at approximately N6.2 billion, though specific details regarding the valuation of the Captagon portion were cited at N1.5 billion. Captagon, often referred to as a 'Jihadi drug,' is a synthetic stimulant frequently associated with conflict zones and illicit trafficking networks.
