Its spokesman, Femi Babafemi stated on Sunday in Abuja that the suspect, a regular flyer, was found in possession of substantial quantities of codeine-based syrup and Rohypnol concealed in his luggage.

“A search of the luggage of the suspect led to the seizure of five cartons containing 50 bottles of codeine syrup and 300 tablets of Rohypnol,’’ he stated.

Babafemi added that the following day, on Jan. 12, the agency seized a large consignment of “Canadian Loud,’’ a strong synthetic strain of Indian hemp, packaged in 324 bags also in Lagos.
