The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has seized a fuel tanker secretly refitted to ferry narcotics across Nigerian states, officials said on Sunday.
NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed the interception in a post on X, explaining that the concealed drugs were found during a stop-and-search operation.
Officers discovered a cleverly engineered hollow beneath the tanker, which served as a hidden chamber for moving illicit substances.
Babafemi wrote, “Narco-trend: Fuel tanker on top but drug tanker beneath! See how NDLEA officers uncovered a massive storage area built into the belly of this oil tanker just for drug trafficking.”
