Man trafficking N2.3bn worth of cocaine nabbed by NDLEA at Abuja airport

A Nigerian, Okey Eze, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja with 350 wraps of cocaine worth over N2.3billion in street value.

This was disclosed by the NDLEA’s Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement.

The 38-year-old Eze, from Orji River, in Oji-River Local Government area of Enugu State, who claims to be a tiler by profession, was arrested on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 during an inward clearance of passengers on Ethiopian Airline flight number 911 enroute Bamako-Addis Ababa- Abuja.

The illicit drug weighing 7.70 kilogrammes was concealed in eight packs tucked in different parts of his luggage.

In his confession, Eze, a resident of Bamako, Mali, said that he travelled to Mali through Seme border in Badagry, Lagos State since 2019. He further claimed that he came into Nigeria with the drug because he needed to raise money to take care of his late elder brother’s four children.

The suspect also claimed he asked his friend who is resident in Brazil to assist him with some money but he declined, telling him instead to pick up a bag with the drugs from a friend of his in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for a fee of N500,000 on successful delivery to someone whose contact would be sent to him on arrival in Nigeria.

He also said the bag containing the drugs was given to him on Wednesday morning at Addis Ababa airport.

Commending the Commander, officers and men of the NAIA command for their vigilance, the Chairman/ Chief Executive of the Agency, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd), said that the new NDLEA under his leadership would continue to deal decisively with the various cartels trying to turn Nigeria into a hub of illicit drugs.
