NDLEA nabs ex-convict for smuggling drugs hidden in speakers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a convicted drug trafficker who previously served jail time in an Asian country for attempting to smuggle crystal methamphetamine concealed inside loudspeakers.

In a statement posted on Sunday by Femi Babafemi, the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, he disclosed this alongside a video showing the seized consignment.

The anti-narcotic agency wrote, “Narco-trend update: From being convicted and jailed in Asia for drug offences to being a trans-border trafficker back home. This is the story of the brain behind the concealment in this video as uncovered by #ndlea_nigeria officers. What a recidivist!”
