The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted 70 parcels of cocaine cleverly concealed in body cream containers at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.
The drug, weighing 3.6 kilograms, was detected during cargo checks on an Air Peace flight bound for London, United Kingdom, on October 14, 2025.
A cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the shipment, was arrested immediately.
Follow-up investigations led to the arrests of Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, a healthcare worker, and Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, Chief Executive Officer of Mutiu Adebiyi & Co. travel agency, at his Ikeja GRA office.
In a related development, NDLEA officers at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, thwarted an attempt by a 35-year-old Lesotho national, Lemena Mark, to export 103.59 grams of methamphetamine concealed in a “diabeta herbs coffee tea” pack to the Philippines.
The NDLEA has intensified surveillance at all entry and exit points across the country to check drug trafficking.
