This was revealed in video shared on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Babafemi stated, “One of the recent discoveries by @ndlea_nigeria is the concealment of large consignment of illicit drugs in imported furniture (sofas) and women head gears. Just take a look at the moment of discovery captured in the attached videos.”
He released video footage showing NDLEA operatives unpacking the items and recovering the packages.
Reports indicate that in one operation, officers intercepted 32 parcels of Loud (a strain of cannabis) weighing 16.15 kilogrammes concealed inside two wooden sofas that arrived in a consolidated cargo shipment from Houston, Texas.
Separate findings involved substances recovered from women’s headwear.
These form part of a broader set of recent interceptions by the agency, which has also reported other seizures involving different concealment methods and substances at airports and other points of entry.
