The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered a consignment of cocaine cleverly hidden inside clothes hangers and sewn into garments packed in a traveller’s luggage.
The discovery was announced on Sunday in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi.
According to the statement, the cocaine was found during a routine search conducted by NDLEA operatives at an undisclosed airport.
The agency noted that drug traffickers are increasingly adopting sophisticated methods to evade detection.
