A Nigerian real estate CEO was arrested after authorities intercepted 32.20kg of cannabis hidden in 27 parcels at Lagos airport. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) confirmed the arrest of Abideen Jide Salami, who was allegedly attempting to smuggle the illicit substance to the UK. The seizure occurred during a routine customs inspection, revealing the drugs concealed within the parcels. Salami, a prominent figure in the real estate sector, is now under investigation for drug trafficking. The case highlights ongoing efforts to combat cross-border drug smuggling, with authorities emphasizing the risks posed by such activities. The UK has previously expressed concern over drug-related crimes involving Nigerian nationals. Officials have not yet disclosed further details on the legal proceedings against Salami.
