The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says operatives intercepted 2,144 parcels of Colorado, a synthetic strain of hemp weighing 1,072kg, at the Tincan Seaport Lagos.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi said in a statement Sunday in Abuja that operatives seized the consignment on Wednesday, April 3.
Mr Babafemi said the seizure was made during a joint examination with the Customs Service and other port stakeholders.
He said the container was marked GAOU 6699215 and came from Montreal but originated from Toronto, Canada.
According to him, the drugs packed in 46 jumbo bags were found concealed in used 2009 Lexus RX 350, 2011 Toyota Sienna, and 2009 Lexus ES 350.
He added that they were also concealed in used engines, automobile doors, tyres, used household goods, and big drums loaded into the container.
