Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), have intercepted a fuel tanker filled with illicit drugs.
The Spokesman, NDLEA, Mr. Femi Babafemi, disclosed this via an X post on Sunday.
“Fuel tanker on top but drug tanker beneath!
“Please watch how @ndlea_nigeria officers discovered a large storage created in the belly of this oil tanker for the sole purpose of moving drugs across the country.” He wrote.
The vehicle which appears to be a fuel tanker at first glance was found to have a compartment in its undercarriage.
According to Babafemi, the section was for the sole purpose of transporting illicit substances across the country.
A video which accompanied the post showed some officers unveiling the concealed storage space and dismantling the section of the tanker.
Although, at the time of filing this report, specific quantities and the type of drugs recovered are yet to be disclosed.
