Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have discovered cocaine and heroin concealed in fireproof iron safe boxes during a raid on a notorious drug trafficking area in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

n

The Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a post shared on X on Sunday.

Babafemi said the discovery was made during a raid at the Abuja area of Port Harcourt, where suspected drug dealers were allegedly using iron safe boxes, traditionally meant for keeping valuables, to conceal high-value illicit drugs.

n

He said the boxes were being used to protect the drugs from theft and other forms of damage.

n

“Iron safe boxes are meant to preserve money, documents and jewellery against fire and theft, but NDLEA officers have discovered during a raid at the notorious Abuja area of Port Harcourt that drug dealers now stash high-value illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin in same fireproof iron boxes,” Babafemi stated.

n

He also shared footage showing where one of the safe boxes was discovered and opened during the operation.
