NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the 41 year-old suspect who was arrested on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, upon his arrival on board an Ethiopian Airline flight 911 from Kigali via Addis Ababa, was taken in for secondary check during which he tested positive to ingestion of illicit substance.

The NDLEA also said Ibeh, who imported cloths for sale, while under observation, excreted 87 pellets of cocaine weighing 1.884 kilograms.In the same vein, a Lagos based suspected drug dealer, Eze Celestine Okorie, has been arrested following the interception of 4.15kilograms of methamphetamine consignment going to London, the United Kingdom at the NAHCO export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, on August 13.

The drug was concealed in tins of tomato branded ‘sunripe’ and packaged for the driver of a freight forwarding company to deliver at the airport export shed for onward movement to the UK.
