The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted a consignment of tramadol pills concealed inside black soap containers in an attempt to smuggle the illicit drugs to the United Kingdom.
The seizure was disclosed in the agency’s latest narco-trend update shared on Sunday by the Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, via his official X account.
According to the NDLEA, operatives uncovered the concealed drugs during a routine interdiction operation in Lagos, thwarting the attempt to export the prohibited substances.
Reacting to the seizure, Babafemi reiterated the agency’s warning against accepting parcels or luggage from other people without verifying their contents.
“It is difficult not to continue to warn people that they should avoid accepting any parcel or luggage from anyone,” he said.
