Nigeria In One Minute

An interview session with Muritala Muhammed International Airport , Lagos commandant of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Mr Garba Ahmadu in his office revealed the antics of young Nigerians , and even elderly men and women who stubbornly insist on trafficking on hard drugs and being curriers at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport , Lagos .

If the ingenuity deployed by these curriers in concealing the hard drugs is used positively, Nigeria could be better.

Vanguard reporter was among the aviation reporters taken by the NDLEA Lagos Airport commandant, Mr Garba Ahmadu to the exhibits room of the agency where they displayed 27 pieces of clothes “ starched “ with dissolved Methamphetamine iron and neatly packed into a bag.

What amazed the reporters was the ingenuity displayed by the currier who made the clothes look like normal starched house wears. Garba said the currier was arrested on Wednesday 6th February, 2019 and was a Dubai bound passenger.
