A suspected drug trafficker Nwachukwu Nwadi Victor, 45, a factory worker in Brazil, who was among four persons arrested by NDLEA, said he would have made 300 per cent profit if he had been able to get the drugs to his destination.
He said: “I had family problem in Nigeria
to settle so I decided to buy cocaine with $10,000. I would have made over 300
per cent profit if I had succeeded in bringing the drugs. The drug was packed
inside a music player, yet the officers detected it.”
The other three suspects
are Okafor Chidinnma Deborah, 30, Utobo Prince Davies Chidiebere, 33, and
Celestine Okoye Ugochukwu, 40. Deborah, a professional dancer and Chidiebere
were arrested on their way to Malaysia, a country where Nigerians found with
drugs are executed. Victor and Ugochukwu were arrested while returning from
Brazil.
Mitchel Ofoyeju, NDLEA’s Head,
Media and Publicity, in a statement said that anti-narcotic officers at the
Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA), Enugu, apprehended the four suspects
in connection with unlawful importation and exportation of illicit drugs that
tested positive for cocaine, amphetamine and cannabis with a total weight of
25.25kg.
He said: “Okafor Chidimma
Deborah, a professional dancer, was going to Malaysia with 3.450kg of
amphetamine hidden in jeans trousers while Chidiebere, a trader, was found with
17.800kg of cannabis hidden inside bitter leaf on his way to China.
“The remaining two suspects were arrested while returning from Brazil. Victor was found with 2.200kg of cocaine hidden inside a music player and Ugochukwu hid 800 grams of cocaine inside the handle of his luggage.” The NDLEA Commander at the Enugu airport, Nsikak-Abasi Udoh, said that all four arrests were made during routine checks.
