THE National Drug Law Enforcement Agency – NDLEA, seized 126 parcels of Canadian Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, weighing 63 kilograms concealed in a used Toyota Corolla car imported from Toronto, Canada at the Tincan port in Lagos.
Another attempt by a freight agent, Mordi Chukwuemeka Samuel, to export 900 grams of the same substance, Loud, hidden inside walls of a travelling bag containing food items, to Kenya, was frustrated by NDLEA officers at the SAHCO export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos on Saturday 29th April.
In a statement released by the spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, Mordi claimed his bag contained food items for export.
However, operatives 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.
Similarly, NDLEA operatives had intercepted 63kg Canadian Loud packed in bags in the boot of one of the five used vehicles in a container on Friday 28th April, at the Tincan port.
The container, marked TLLU4840762, was coming from Toronto via Montreal.
Men of the Agency’s Directorate of Operations and Investigation, DOGI, attached to courier firms also on Thursday 27th April intercepted 1.53kg skunk concealed in old hard drives meant for export to Dubai, United Arab Emirate.
