A statement by the NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, revealed that the Chinese national was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with 26.10kg of Loud, a strong strain of cannabis, hidden in two suitcases, while the woman was arrested in Calabar, Cross River State, with over 3kg of skunk.

Babafemi disclosed that the NDLEA also made significant drug seizures, including 21.7kg of Colorado, a synthetic strain of cannabis, hidden in moimoi sachets, and 101kg of Canadian Loud concealed in canned food items at the Apapa seaport in Lagos.
