The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, on Saturday said it is holding 12 dockworkers at the Apapa seaport in Lagos State due to their significant links to the importation of 32.9 kilograms of hard drugs worth over N9.5 billion in street value.
A statement signed by NDLEA Spokesman, Femi Babafemi disclosed that a search of the ship was done which led to the recovery of 30 parcels containing the hard drugs.
The statement revealed that a Federal High Court in Lagos had granted an application by the Agency for the interim attachment of the vessel used to import the 32.9 kg of the drugs into Nigeria through the seaport.
It added that the court also granted NDLEA’s request to detain the Master of the ship, Tanahan Krilerk and 21 foreign crew members as well as the dockworkers arrested in connection to the case.
