The drugs which include heroin, methamphetamine, cannabis, tramadol and Rohypnol were seized in operations at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos as well as Ondo, Edo, Kano, Kaduna, Plateau and some courier companies.
In a statement, the NDLEA said two consignments of heroin weighing forty point four zero kilogrammes and five hundred and fifty grams were intercepted on October 6 and 15 respectively at the cargo shed of the International Airport in Lagos.
NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, noted that one of the consignment was seized at the SAHCO import shed of the airport when it was discovered inside bags of granulated sugar and flour from Johannesburg, South Africa via Addis Ababa to Lagos on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
Two suspects; Chukwuemeka Ugochukwu, a freight agent that cleared the consignment and one Kabiru Aminu, a stock keeper that was to collect the cargo for onward distribution to recipients were arrested for further investigation.
