The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has intercepted a consignment containing seven pouches of cannabis concealed in a duvet cover, which arrived in Lagos from Bangkok, Thailand.
In a statement on Tuesday, NIPOST confirmed that the parcel, addressed to a Lagos recipient, has been handed over to security agencies for investigation.
The identities of the sender and receiver were withheld.
The agency said the seizure reflects its zero-tolerance stance against using the postal network for illicit activities and aligns with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the postal system remains a safe, reliable, and trusted channel for communication and commerce.
