Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) recently uncovered a stash of cocaine hidden inside clothes hangers and sewn into dresses packed in a traveller’s luggage.
The discovery was announced in a statement made by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, shared on his X handle on Sunday, June 22.
According to the agency, the drugs were found during a routine search at an undisclosed airport, which highlights the increasingly creative tactics traffickers are using to evade detection.
“How could anyone have imagined that cocaine is buried inside the hangers holding the clothes they’re travelling with or sewn into the dress in their luggage? But that’s the reality of the desperation by the cartels as discovered by #ndlea_nigeria officers in their latest seizure.” he wrote
