The seizures made at a courier company in Lagos on December 24 and 29, 2025, came just as the NDLEA has taken into custody 22 Indian crew members of a merchant vessel, MV Aruna Hulya, in which 31.5 kilograms of cocaine were seized at the GDNL terminal, Apapa port in Lagos on Friday, January 2, 2026.
