The shipments weighed 44.45kg and were concealed in consolidated cargoes. According to the Punch, 27 parcels of Colorado weighing 32.20kg were found in a UK-bound consignment at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.\n\nThe NDLEA also recovered two consignments of Colorado hidden in music speakers at two motor parks in Lagos.
