The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has uncovered a sophisticated new method used by traffickers to smuggle illicit substances, prompting a stern warning to the public, particularly parents and guardians. Operatives from the agency discovered narcotics cleverly concealed within the laminated layers of airline flight boarding passes, a tactic designed to evade detection at security checkpoints.
The alarming discovery was shared in a video posted by Punch Newspapers, which demonstrates an agent carefully separating a boarding pass to reveal a hidden stash of a powdered substance. This innovative concealment method highlights the desperate and creative measures being employed by drug trafficking syndicates.
