LAGOS, NIGERIA — The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has intercepted a consignment containing seven pouches of cannabis that arrived in Lagos from Bangkok, Thailand. The illicit substance was found concealed inside a duvet cover.
The shipment was addressed to a recipient in Lagos. NIPOST has withheld the details of both the sender and the recipient as a full investigation is now underway by Nigeria’s security agencies.
The interception highlights NIPOST’s commitment to transforming the postal industry into a more secure and reliable channel. According to a statement from the agency, the action demonstrates its “zero-tolerance” for illicit activities, a stance that aligns with the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of the Nigerian government.
NIPOST has assured the public of its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the integrity of its operations and ensuring the postal network serves as a catalyst for national security and public trust.
