A 45-year-old man, Azeez Tajudeen, has been charged before a Federal High Court with Heroin trafficking.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency filed the one-count charge against the accused on Tuesday in Lagos.
The prosecutor, Jeremiah Aernan, said that the defendant committed the alleged offence on October 23 and was arrested at Ipodo in Ikeja on a tipoff.
According to the NDLEA, Heroin weighing nine grammes was recovered from the defendant during a search on him by its operatives.
Trafficking in Heroin offends Section 11(c) of the NDLEA Act of 2004.
