4.5 billion in heroin found in packages of baby food weighing 255 kilograms.
TVC News Nigeria gives us a report on a drug bust at the airport.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted 22 blocks of heroin weighing 255 kilograms at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The drugs were concealed in packs of Cerelac baby food. This is a significant bust for the NDLEA, as heroin is a highly addictive and dangerous drug. The drug is often smuggled into the country hidden in other items, such as food. The fact that the drug was concealed in baby food is particularly concerning, as it shows that the smugglers are willing to put children at risk in order to get the drug into the country. The NDLEA is to be commended for their work in intercepting this shipment of heroin.

Any kind of drug burst is a victory for the citizens. Am still shocked with the method the smugglers used in the event. The NDLEA has done it again prevention is better than the cure.
The NDLEA is really doing a nice job in curtaining the excessive drug business and use.The drug cartel are just into the business because of their selfish interest without considering the adverse effect on the society.But lots still need to be done through sensitisation and awareness on how dangerous it is if someone involve in drug business and also making use of those drug
Just imagine the extent these so called smugglers go to in order to carry out their devilish work and I’m so proud of the NDLEA they are doing a great job and mor official breakthrough…thumbs up
Wow the NDLEA are doing a very good job, we need more of this in other to tight up our security. They don’t even care about the health of those who will consume the food bt in other for they to fill there own pocket they put others in danger. Example must be made, punish them so will serve as example to other
This is very appaling. Even children goods and foods are at risk of being used to smuggle drugs by these smugglers. I commend the role NDLEA is playing in arresting these criminals and prosecuting them. They are danger to the security of the nation. The drugs they smuggle damage the body system and they should be incarcerated for such crime.
Kudos to the NDLEA. Drug trafficking is now getting wild. Who could have thought drugs were concealed in baby foods.
I’m still wondering why people are going extra miles for things that will destroy them. I’m glad the NDLEA stepped in . Kudus to them
This is bad news to hear because people still do shady jobs like this why would you put your drugs I. A baby cerelac food thanks to the NDLEA for capturing those culprits with drugs worth 4.5billion in heroin
Nawa o, it really shows that the smugglers are putting children at very big risk in order to get the drug into the country. Good work NDLEA🙌
Good work from the NDLEA, now they need to double their efforts to make our country a safe haven free from drug trafficking.
This shows that there is still hope for our enforcement agencies, and they can still carry out their jobs properly. Brilliant effort from them.
Brilliant job from our NDLEA officials; now they just need proper financial backing and support, then I’m sure they’ll be able to carry out more efficient operations.
This is just another proof of how desperate people can be to make money because how can you put drugs into baby foods, for goodness sake.
I cannot express how happy I am with how the officers and soldiers of the MMIA command have performed their duties in order to ensure that this operation has been carried out effectively.
How can people waste this large amount of money on drugs that are not beneficial to humans health. I hope they keep arresting them so others will learn from this and reduce the rate of drug trafficking .
The NDLEA did an excellent job on this aspect; may Allah bless their efforts and grant them the strength to do more. Apart from the prayers, the government should also back them well.
Thanks to the NDLEA who intercepted this huge kilograms of heroin drug. These drugs barons really want to put babies lives in danger. Imaging a parent who bought one of this concealed heroin cerelac pack mistakingly and fed it to the baby. That will kill the baby.God help us all.
The NDLEA has proven that they are up to the task by intercepting that large sum of heroin drugs and apprending the drug peddlers otherwise they would have endanger the lives of babies through their innocent parents.
NDLEA should not relent on its effort of arresting those involved in drug trafficking. Because those that do this meant to be behind bars, they are nothing more than nuisance to our community
With the NDLEA action bursting heroin and hard drugs everywhere in an act to control and curb drug trafficking in Nigeria its just a matter of time before drug lords get depleted.
NDLEA has done a tremendous act bursting such a vast kilogram of heroin they really deserve to be commended for their work in intercepting this shipment of heroin.
An excellent job by the NDLEA. It has shown that they are up to the task by intercepting that large sum of heroin drugs. Apprehending the drug peddlers is key. Support from Government is key as well
Desperation for survival is becoming extreme and I don’t really blame some people because it’s because of the state they find themselves in this country.
To the credit of the NDLEA, they were able to stop the delivery of heroin thanks to their efforts successfully. More of this, please
Yes, we know that sometimes these NDLEA officials and other enforcement agencies don’t do their work correctly, but when they do excellent jobs like this, they must be commended. Good job from them, and they should keep it up.
A job well done, kudos the NDLEA.
This shows that they need to do more work, as there might be more cases of it.
