Nigeria’s Customs Service intercepts surveillance drones, narcotics, and expired pharmaceutical products valued at about ₦43.5 billion at APM Terminals’ examination bay in Apapa Port, Lagos.
Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria report that the Nigeria Customs Service then transfers the items to relevant agencies. Daily Post says Comptroller-General of Customs Bashir Adeniyi hands over the narcotics to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), while controlled and expired pharmaceutical products are moved to other government bodies for further action.
The outlets largely align on the location, the nature of the items seized (drones, drugs, and pharmaceuticals), and the overall value (around ₦43.5 billion). Differences are mainly in emphasis and wording—Vanguard focuses on the interception, while Daily Post highlights the subsequent handover to agencies.
No outlet provides details in the excerpts about the quantity of drones or specific drug types, or any charges or outcomes following the transfers.
