Vigilant operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested a 47yrs old businessman, who attempted to export 270 grammes of cocaine to Madagascar.
The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, during the outward screening of passengers on a Kenyan Airways flight to Ivato Int’l airport.
The NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, Ahmadu Garba, said: “This is the first arrest and seizure in the year of a passenger heading to Madagascar from this airport.
“The suspect, Odili Onyekwere, successfully excreted 25 wraps of cocaine, which he ingested, while under close observation. He is cooperating with our team of investigators and the case will soon be charged to court.”
During interrogation, Odili who’s from Rivers, said he went into drug trafficking out of frustration.
The father of two, who deals in foot wear, said: “I am married with two children and I sell shoes in Lome, Togo. As a result of economic downturn, my capital kept depreciating until I lost everything.
“It was the frustration of not being able to provide for my wife and two children that made me go into smuggling of cocaine. It is my first time. They promised to pay me $1,000, which is over N400,000, going by the present exchange rate.”
Commenting on the arrest, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, said with the use of technology, those hoping to get rich quick from drugs will continue to fail.
