NDLEA intercepts 25kg meth hidden in breakfast cereal from South Africa

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted a substantial quantity of methamphetamine, hidden within breakfast cereal packs, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. According to Punch Newspapers, the seized consignment weighs 25.05kg. The NDLEA operatives made the discovery during a routine search and arrested a suspect in connection with the illegal drug shipment. The agency has not said when the facility began operating or if this is the first such seizure. Methamphetamine, a highly addictive and harmful drug, is becoming increasingly prevalent in Nigeria, posing significant threats to public health and safety. The interception of this large quantity of the drug highlights the need for continued vigilance and strengthened border control measures. The NDLEA urges the public to report any suspicious activities related to drug trafficking to the nearest office.
