Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested two Pakistani businessmen at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport with eight kilograms of cocaine concealed in a public address system.

The suspects, Asif Muhammed, and Hussain Naveed, were arrested while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to Lahole, Pakistan.

 

The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday.

 

Babafemi also said operatives seized 13 cartons of tramadol 225mg and 200mg imported from Karachi, Pakistan, at the SAHCO import shed of the airport on November 4.

 

According to him, the consignment has a total weight of 465.10kg and 642,800 pills of pharmaceutical opioids.

 

Babafemi disclosed that two wanted drug kingpins were nabbed last Thursday in Lagos.
