The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has made a series of significant seizures, including 70 parcels of cocaine factory-packed in the walls of cocoa butter formula body cream containers heading to London, United Kingdom.
The agency also recovered methamphetamine concealed in a water heater and conducted a raid on a popular Lagos nightclub over a drug party, arresting the owner, Mike Eze Nwalie Nwogu, widely known as Pretty Mike, among others. A statement on Sunday by the Agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, said a total of 70 parcels of cocaine, weighing 3.60 kilograms, were discovered at the export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.
He said the consignment was found on October 14, 2025, during the examination of cargoes packaged as personal effects going to London, UK, on an Air Peace flight.
He added that a cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the consignment for airfreight, was promptly arrested.
According to him, investigations lasting two weeks led to the arrest of two principal suspects linked to the attempt to export the concealed Class A drug to the UK.
He said, ”In a follow-up operation on October 18, a female healthcare worker, Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, was arrested. Subsequently, Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, the Chief Executive Officer of a travel agency, Mutiu Adebiyi and Co, was arrested at his office on 23 Ladoke Akintola Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, on Monday, October 20.”
