PHOTO: ALLEGED UNIZIK STUDENT ARRESTED WITH COCAINE AT ENUGU AIRPOT

Barely few weeks after the jubilation that greeted the commencement of
international flights at the newly upgraded Akanu Ibiam International
Airport, Enugu; the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has
made its first arrest and cocaine seizure. The suspect, Chizoba
Anselem Nwabuwa 32 year-old 400 Levels Fine and Applied Arts student
was apprehended during the inward screening of passengers on an
Ethiopian flight from Brazil enroute Addis-Ababa. He was found to have
ingested liquid cocaine packed inside male condoms.
The head of the NDLEA at the Enugu Airport, Mr Nsikak-Abasi Udoh who
confirmed the arrest said that the suspect excreted 25 wraps of a
liquid that tested positive for cocaine. "The suspect excreted
twenty-five (25) wraps of liquid substance. When tested with the
United Nations drug testing kit, it tested positive for cocaine
weighing 1.250kg. This first arrest and seizure is exciting to us
because we just commenced operations" Nsikak-Abasi stated.

According to the suspect, "I am a 400 level student of Fine & Applied
Arts at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State. I wanted
to use the half a million naira (N500,000) they promised to pay me in
developing my Art Gallery. They assured me in Brazil that authorities
will not be able to detect liquid cocaine, so I was confident.
Unfortunately, things have turned-out the other way. I regret my
involvement in drug trafficking". Chizoba who is single hails from
Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA Ahmadu Giade expressed satisfaction
with the arrest. In his words, "the Agency accords high priority
attention to all the airports. We shall continue to up-scale our
operations at the airports and prevent drug trafficking syndicates
from using the nation's airports".
Giade urged members of the public to pursue legitimate businesses at
all times noting that a good name is far better than ill-gotten
wealth.
The suspect will soon be charged to court.
