Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have intercepted a fuel tanker that was modified to conceal and transport illicit drugs across Nigeria.

NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Mr Femi Babafemi, confirmed the development in a post on X.com on Sunday.

According to Babafemi, the discovery was made during a targeted stop-and-search operation, where officers uncovered a hidden compartment expertly crafted in the belly of the tanker — a covert storage space designed solely for drug

He wrote: “Narco-trend: Fuel tanker on top but drug tanker beneath! Please watch how #ndlea_nigeria officers discovered a large storage created in the belly of this oil tanker for the sole purpose of moving drugs across the country.”
