The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Sunday disclosed that its operatives intercepted a consignment of cocaine concealed in clothes hangers and sewn into dresses packed in a traveller’s luggage.
This was contained in a press statement issued by the NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, via its verifed X handle.
According to him, the illicit substance was discovered during a routine search by NDLEA officers at an undisclosed airport, as traffickers continue to devise new methods to beat security checks.
