NDLEA intercepts cocaine, tramadol hidden in shoes, custard containers

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered parcels of cocaine hidden in the soles of shoes bound for Europe.

Disclosing this in a statement on Sunday, Femi Babafemi, shared videos of the seized contraband on X on Sunday, saying tramadol pills were found concealed in custard containers in a separate discovery.

He warned travellers to be cautious when accepting luggage or items from others to deliver, as they may be unaware of the contents.

“First video reveals moment #ndlea_nigeria officers discovered parcels of cocaine in soles of shoes going to Europe while the second one shows how tramo pills hidden in custard containers were uncovered.

“Another reason why you must be careful with any bag given to you to deliver,” he said in the video.
