The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a professional basketball player, 28-year-old American citizen Greene Da’monte Khiree, over the alleged importation of 33.95 kilogrammes of Loud, a potent strain of cannabis, through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
The suspect arrived in Lagos aboard an Emirates flight from Thailand via Dubai. He allegedly left his two checked-in bags behind and tried to exit the airport with only his carry-on luggage, but was picked up at the airport car park after operatives placed him under surveillance.
A search of the abandoned bags, which carried his name tags, led to the recovery of 32 parcels of Loud weighing 33.95kg. A tracking device was also found in the luggage.
Khiree, a native of Savannah, Georgia, reportedly told investigators that he had lived in Thailand since October 2025, where he plays professional basketball. He said he travelled to Nigeria on holiday to build networks for his basketball career.
However, a forensic examination of his mobile phone allegedly turned up information linking him to the drug trafficking operation.
