The illicit drug had arrived Lagos in 25 parcels from South Africa through an Airpeace Airline flight on June 30, 2021 and was detained for screening following reasonable suspicion of the content of the consignment.
A follow up operation was subsequently carried out the following day, July 1, when narcotic officers of the MMIA command trailed the driver and a clearing agent that were assigned to deliver the consignment to the house of a suspected baron in Lagos. During the follow up operation, the suspect fled his home before the arrival of the team of operatives who stormed his residence.
They were, however, able to search his home and recover a number of documents to establish his true identity. NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said following the development, the chairman/chief executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa has directed that the fleeing suspect, Tony Chidi Onwurolu be declared wanted immediately and his details submitted to Interpol for tracking across the world.
