Two suspects, Ugochukwu Nwafor and
Chidozie Okonkwo were recently arrested by law enforcement agents at the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for attempting to
smuggle 2.880 kg of a substance believed to be cocaine out of the
country.
During the outward screening of the
passengers on a British Airways flight to London, Nwafor and Okonkwo
were
found to have ingested 175 wraps of the hard drug.
Confirming the arrest, the commander of
the National Drug Law Emnforcement Agency at the MMI airport, Mr. Hamza
Umar, said the suspects were caught after a positive signal was
triggered by the scanning machines.
“The suspects tested positive to drug
ingestion and were placed under observation. Nwafor ingested 73 wraps of
cocaine weighing 1.395kg while Okonkwo ingested 102 wraps weighing
1.485kg. They were detected on the same flight,” Hamza said.
A dealer in phones at the Computer
Village, in Ikeja, Nwafor,37, resides at Igando while Okonkwo lives in
East London. Having confessed their involvement, both of them are said
to be cooperating with narcotic investigators.
