4 drug dealers are currently in NDLEA custody for allegedly
attempting to smuggle cocaine out of the country via MMIA
Airport in Lagos.
It was learnt that the suspects ─ Ejiofor Eliezer (46), Obah
Francis (30), Akpa Sobuzochukwu (27) and 36-year-old Ike
Okechukwu ─ excreted 171 wraps of drug that tested positive
for cocaine.
The suspects were busted during the screening of
passengers on board Qatar and Emirates airlines.
Eliezer, who excreted 100 wraps of the drug, told
investigators that poverty pushed him to commit the crime,
adding that he had intended to use the expected proceed to
fend for his family of four.
“I live in Brazil, where I work in a supermarket and lived with
my wife and four children. Life in Brazil is tough because I live
from hand to mouth. It was poverty that made me to smuggle
drugs. I took risk by swallowing 100 wraps of cocaine for
N200,000 because of poverty.”
Another suspect, Francis said he joined drug trafficking
business to make more money.
“I am single and have been working in Brazil for two years. At
present, I work in a bakery and my salary is meager. My plan
was to give the drug to a friend in Dubai, but he did not come to
collect the drug as planned. This was how I had to come to
Nigeria with the drug. I blame my friend for my arrest because I
would have made S15,000 (about N2.8m) from the deal.”
NDLEA promises to charge the suspects to court soon.
