In a significant operation, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted substantial quantities of illicit drugs ingeniously concealed within mattresses and various vehicle components, including dashboards, tire rims, tubes, engine compartments, and body panels. This operation underscores the evolving tactics employed by drug traffickers to evade detection.
The NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, highlighted the agency’s vigilance in countering these sophisticated smuggling methods. He emphasized that such concealment strategies necessitate thorough stop-and-search procedures on highways to effectively disrupt distribution channels.
