Date of arrest
The stored date was 11 October 2026, the date of the NDLEA statement, because TVC News gives no date for this arrest. The NDLEA placard shown in the photo gallery of the TVC News report gives the date of arrest as "08-10-2026", so the stored date is now 8 October 2026 and the page has moved from News:2026-10-11/Trafficking/ndlea-and-customs-arrest-a-south-african-passenger-with-32-74-kg-of-thai-loud-cannabis-in-two-bags-at-port-har.
