NDLEA uncovers UK-bound cocaine hidden in body cream containers

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have uncovered 70 parcels of cocaine weighing 3.6 kilograms cleverly concealed in the walls of cocoa butter body cream containers destined for London, United Kingdom

This is contained in a statement issued by NDLEA’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday.

The consignment, factory-packed and disguised as personal effects, was intercepted on 14th October 2025 at the export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.

A cargo agent, Lawal Mustapha Olakunle, who presented the shipment for airfreight on an Air Peace flight, was immediately arrested.

According to the NDLEA, two other major suspects, Ogunmuyide Taiwo Deborah, a healthcare worker, and Mutiu Adebayo Adebiyi, Chief Executive Officer of Mutiu Adebiyi & Co. Travel Agency, were later apprehended in follow-up operations at different locations across Lagos.
