According to Femi Babafemi, the spokesperson of the NDLEA, the discovery was made when officers inspected giant wooden boxes disguised as sound speakers at the NAHCO import shed of the Lagos airport. Upon opening the boxes, they found sixty (60) bags of the high-priced psychoactive substance, Loud, weighing 33.5 kilograms.
Following the discovery, three suspects were apprehended in subsequent operations between Thursday, February 15th, and Friday, February 16th, 2024. A freight agent named Akeem Afeez, logistics company manager Babalola Ayodeji Gboyega, and the consignment receiver Taiwo Olusegun Anuoluwapo were all arrested. Afeez was apprehended at the airport, Gboyega at his office on Allen Avenue Ikeja, and Taiwo at his residence in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
In a related development, a joint raid operation involving the NDLEA and the State Homeland Security led to the arrest of several individuals, including a female lawyer named Adaobi Nweke, her boyfriend, her mother, a herbalist, and others. The family was found to be involved in the illicit drug business, passing down the trade from their late father.
Various quantities of illicit substances including Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine, Loud, and Cannabis Sativa were recovered from the family during their arrest. Additionally, monetary exhibits amounting to N578,400 were seized.
Further operations by NDLEA operatives led to the arrest of other suspects across different states, including an Uber driver intercepted with Loud, individuals caught with blocks of cannabis, and a suspect found with compressed cannabis in a car trunk.
These series of arrests and seizures indicate ongoing efforts by the NDLEA to combat drug trafficking and related crimes across various parts of Nigeria.

Strategic Partnership Details
-
Formal Agreement: The two agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday, July 17, 2026, at the NDLEA headquarters.
-
Operational Integration: The partnership includes provisions for intelligence sharing, coordinated joint operations, officer capacity building, and the exchange of technical resources.
-
Joint Working Committee: A committee will be established to ensure the agreement translates into tangible operational results.
Rationale for Collaboration
-
Shared Criminal Networks: NDLEA Chairman, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), noted that criminal syndicates often engage in both narcotics trafficking and the piracy of creative works, using proceeds from one illicit activity to finance the other.
-
Economic and Social Impact: NCC Director-General, Dr. John Asein, emphasized that organized piracy is a major criminal enterprise that undermines Nigeria’s creative economy, destroys jobs, and weakens national security.
-
Intersecting Supply Chains: Both agencies identified that the same clandestine networks, transportation routes, and financial channels used for drug trafficking are frequently utilized to distribute pirated goods and launder criminal proceeds.
-
Inter-Agency Synergy: The leadership of both organizations highlighted the importance of moving away from isolated operations toward a collaborative model that leverages the specific expertise and intelligence capabilities of each agency.
The initiative aims to more effectively disrupt illegal supply chains, dismantle criminal structures, and protect both the creative sector and the general public from the influence of organized crime.
