Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted a consignment of 26.150 kilogrammes of heroin with a street value of over N6.5 billion at the SAHCO shed of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.

The illicit drug arrived Lagos in 25 parcels from South Africa through an Air Peace flight on June 30, and was detained for screening following reasonable suspicion of the content of the consignment.
