NDLEA Intercepts Cocaine Stash in Prayer Beads, Shoes

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has intercepted cocaine hidden inside prayer beads and locally made shoes.

NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi revealed this in a statement on Sunday, sharing images of the seized contraband on X.

He added that several suspects had been arrested by the anti-narcotics agency.

“In this holy month, when people are consecrating themselves and making supplications to their God, some persons were preoccupied  with concealing cocaine in prayer beads and locally made shoes to desecrate the precincts of the holy land in the holy month,” Babafemi said.

“They were, however, intercepted by #ndlea_nigeria officers as shown by the attached pictures.”
