Businessman Excretes 127 Cocaine Wraps After Arrest in Kano – NDLEA
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 52-year-old businessman, Ejiofor Godwin Emeka, at the Kano airport for allegedly ingesting 127 wraps of cocaine. The suspect, who runs boutiques in Lagos and Onitsha, was intercepted upon his arrival from Bangkok, Thailand. A body scan revealed the presence of illicit substances, leading to the recovery of 58 wraps from his underwear. He subsequently excreted another 69 wraps over seven sessions, with the total cocaine weighing 1.388 kilograms. In related operations, the NDLEA intercepted multiple drug consignments at Lagos airports destined for the UK, Turkey, and other countries. The drugs were cleverly concealed in items like glass ceramics, vitamin containers, and black soap. Several other arrests were made across different states in connection with these seizures.
