The agency disclosed that the suspects were intercepted while trying to transport the illicit substances to the Holy Land.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, shared pictures of the seized contraband on Sunday.
The statement read; “Narco-trend update: In the holy month when people are consecrating themselves and making supplication to their God, some persons were pre-occupied with concealing cocaine in prayer beads and locally made shoes to desecrate the precincts of the holy land in the holy month.
