Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have intercepted a 42-year-old Indian lady, Ms Neetu Neetu, at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, with 72 parcels of heroin factory sealed in wafer wraps and packaged as chocolates.

The illicit drug consignment, weighing a total of 11 kilograms, was discovered in her luggage following a thorough search based on credible intelligence.

A statement on Sunday by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said Neetu was apprehended on Friday, March 14, 2025, during an inward clearance of Qatar Airways flight QR1431, which arrived from Bangkok, Thailand, via Vietnam and Doha.

“The arrest of Neetu signifies a growing attempt by drug trafficking organisations to hire white ladies and foreign nationals to move illicit drugs through the Nigerian borders, a bid that vigilant NDLEA operatives have consistently frustrated with the aid of modern technological tools and proactive intelligence, says Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (retd.), in his immediate reaction to Neetu’s arrest, “ he added.

Babafemi also said in another operation in Kano, the NDLEA officers on March 20 arrested a 45-year-old suspect, Michael Ogundele, with a 50-litre steel gas cylinder at Gadar Tamburawa, along Zaria-Kano Road.

“Based on credible intelligence, welding tools were later used to cut the giant cylinder after which 50,000 pills of tramadol 225mg concealed in it were extracted,” he added.

In yet another operation in Kano, Babafemi said 40-year-old Sunday Ogar was arrested with 27kg skunk.

He said, “Sunday Ogar, 40, was nabbed at Gunduwawa area of Kano on Wednesday 19th March with 27kg skunk, a strain of cannabis, a female suspect Khadijah Abdullahi, 40, was arrested with 424 bottles of codeine-based syrup at Lungun Bulala Yalwa area of the state on Tuesday, March 18.”

In Lagos, Babafemi said the duo of Olumuyiwa Kolawole and Samod Adisa were nabbed with 67.5kg skunk in Mushin.

“100.8kg of the same psychoactive substance was recovered from the store of two fleeing suspects in Anifowoshe area of Mushin while Isah Idris was arrested in Apapa with 4.5kg skunk; 600grams of tramadol 225mg and 30 litres of codeine syrup on Tuesday, March 18.

“Another suspect, Yahaya Mohamed, was arrested the same day in the Ikotun area of the state with different quantities of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine,” he added.
