NDLEA nabs Chinese suspect for drug trafficking in Lagos

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a Chinese national, Liang Tak You, with 50 parcels of cannabis known as Loud weighing 26.10kg at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Liang was taken into custody on Friday after arriving from Bangkok via Dubai on an Emirates flight. Investigators said he had collected two suitcases packed with the drugs in Thailand before traveling to Nigeria. Surveillance teams tracked his movements from departure and intercepted him as he exited the airport.

In a separate operation, an 80-year-old woman, Grace Ekpeme, was arrested in Calabar South, Cross River State, with over 3kg of skunk following intelligence reports of her involvement in drug dealing.
