Nigerian officials find heroin in shipment from Iran
Nigerian officials say they have seized heroin worth nearly $10m (£6.25m), concealed in engine parts shipped from Iran.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said agents made the seizure at Apapa seaport in Lagos.
The haul comes just days after Nigeria reported Tehran to the UN Security Council over an illegal arms shipment from Iran that was intercepted.
The Iranian government claims to have received a mail from a high-ranking government official in Nigeria willing to negotiate the return of the drugs for a nominal fee.
