In a significant operation, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested 41-year-old Canadian Adrienne Munju at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos for attempting to import a large quantity of synthetic cannabis, commonly referred to as “Canadian Loud.”
The arrest took place on October 3 during passenger clearance from a KLM flight arriving from Canada. Authorities discovered 74 parcels of the illegal substance, weighing 35.20 kilograms, hidden in two of her three bags.
