The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have intercepted and seized parcels of illicit drugs hidden in a specially designed compartment of a bus.
The hidden compartment, designed to evade detection, was used to smuggle illegal substances across international borders.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, shared videos of the seized contraband on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, highlighting the sophistication of the traffickers' concealment methods.
The statement said, "But for Intel & professionalism of #ndlea_nigeria officers, how could anyone have imagined that one needs to remove a vehicle’s bumper to discover this specially constructed compartment in the belly of a bus solely for trafficking drugs across borders?
"Another cartel taken down!"
