An international drug organization based in Nigeria has been caught sneaking a large amount of methamphetamine into the country.

It passed through the airport because it was difficult to detect drug dogs by wrapping them as if they were chocolate or putting coffee powder on their bags.

At an ambitious time, as the man who got out of the car approaches, the waiting person hands the envelope.It looks like it's going back after trading

, but suddenly it jumps in and catches the opponent.

The police at the site of the methamphetamine fake transaction caught the Nigerian distribution book.

Organizations based in Nigeria brought methamphetamine into the country from Mexico and other countries, wrapping it as if it were chocolate or coating it with coffee powder in a bag and passing it through the airport.

The amount seized by the police is 6.15kg of methamphetamine, which can be administered by 200,000 people at the same time.

Police, who launched an investigation with intelligence from the National Intelligence Service, arrested 17 people, including Nigerian domestic distribution books and Canadian transportation books, and arrested six people, including Swedish transportation books.

It has been confirmed that A, a 57-year-old Nigerian in charge of the crime, was arrested and deported on charges of distributing marijuana after living in Korea for about seven years in the past.

The police believed that A distributed drugs through domestic members in Nigeria after deportation, and placed him on Interpol red wanted list.
