The seizure, one of the largest at the airport, was made by the Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (DLEAG) and airport security officers. Njie, a Gambian passport holder with a German residence permit, arrived on an SN Brussels flight from Belgium and is now in custody as investigations continue.
In a country with a population of 2.6 million, this equates to one pill for approximately every 55 people, highlighting the scale of the seizure.
