It was the spokesperson for the NDLEA, who is Mr Femi Babafemi, that revealed this information. He shared this during a press statement on Sunday August 27 2023.

This flight was bound for the Middle-East via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from Abuja. After a thorough search, they discovered these drugs and seized them.
He said “A thorough search of his luggage led to the discovery of the whitish powdery illicit substance factory packed in different parts of the bag. Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect arrived in Lagos through Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on Saturday, August 19, came to Abuja on Tuesday, August 22, and took possession of the brown bag containing the drug consignment on Wednesday, August 23, before heading to the Abuja airport for his flight out of Nigeria”
He also mentioned that “Efforts by transnational drug cartels to move a consignment of 117 grams of ketamine neatly concealed in a pair of leather male slippers being shipped to Indonesia and 2.14kg of skunk clinically hidden in the walls of a local wooden drum were equally frustrated by NDLEA operatives of the Directorate of Operations and General Investigation, DOGI, attached to courier firms in Lagos.” (source: NDLEA)
