According to the NDLEA, “The suspect ( 32-year-old Chizoba Nwabuwa) excreted 25 wraps of a liquid substance that tested positive for cocaine, weighing 1.250kg. This is the first drug seizure to be made at the airport; it is exciting because we have just commenced operations.” The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency officials say this is the first drug seizure to be made at the newly refurbished international airport.
Nwabuza is a Fine and Applied Arts 400-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Anambra, he was arrested this week at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State, for ingesting 25 wraps of male condoms filled with cocaine. He arrived aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight from Brazil when he tested positive to liquid cocaine. Chizoba said he agreed to carry the drugs because his cohorts promised him N500, 000 as compensation and he wanted to use the money to develop his art gallery. Chizoba said his handlers assured him that authorities will not be able to detect liquid cocaine, so he was confident.
