The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted illicit drugs hidden in a wooden statue and imported vehicles.

In a statement, NDLEA Spokesperson, Femi Babafemi said the consignments were meant for export to the United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates.

They were found at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja and Tincan seaport in Lagos.

Babafemi said no less than 37.5 kilograms of such illicit consignments were intercepted in the past week.

Eleven persons were also arrested in interdiction operations that led to the seizure of almost four tons of skunk in Kaduna, Kano and Lagos.

He further said a similar attempt to ship 11.5kgs of the same substance to the UK was frustrated when the consignment concealed in a giant wooden sculpture was intercepted at a courier company in Lagos.
