An ex-convict, Bada Akorede Olanrewaju, has been nabbed again for attempting to export a consignment of rohypnol to South Africa through the export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency nabbed the ex-convict who was convicted earlier this year.
The conviction of Olanrewaju followed his arrest by the NDLEA on December 12, 2023.
This was for attempting to ship 4.90kg tramadol and 2.10kg rohypnol to South Africa through the export shed of the Lagos airport.
