The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have foiled an attempt by a freight agent, Mordi Chukwuemeka Samuel, to export 900 grams of Canadian Loud, hidden inside walls of a travelling bag containing food items, to Kenya at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State.
The NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, made the disclosure via a statement issued on Sunday, April 30.
Babafemi said the Canadian Loud was seized by NDLEA officers at the SAHCO export shed of the Lagos airport, on Saturday, April 29.

He said when Mordi presented the bag, which the suspect claimed contained food items for export, the anti-narcotic officers noticed that in the course of searching the consignment, the side walls of the bag were unevenly bloated, after which they dismantled the false packings and recovered the illicit substance.
Speaking on the arrest and seizure, the NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), commended the officers of the anti-drug agency for their vigilance and professionalism in the discharge of their responsibilities.
Marwa also charged them and their colleagues across the country not to rest on their oars.
