Customs officers at the Rafik Hariri International Airport on Sunday foiled an attempt to smuggle 12 kilograms of cocaine into the country from Nigeria's Kano.
“The quantity was packed in a professional and creative way and was seized in the possession of a man who arrived from Kano,” one of the largest cities in Nigeria, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
“The man was arrested following authorization from the relevant judicial authorities,” NNA said.
He was referred to the central anti-drug bureau for further interrogation, the agency added.
