Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, have discovered one hundred and ninety-three (193) wraps of cocaine inside a passenger sucks.The drug which tested positive for cocaine with a total weight of 3.4kgs was detected during routine screening of passengers on an Emirates flight from Dubai.
The suspect who is a commercial bus driver in Lagos has also been arrested.
Following the development, the Chairman/Chief Executive of the Agency, Colonel Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah (rtd,) has called for stringent monitoring of Dubai-Lagos route by officers.
According to Abdallah, “This is an interesting arrest and I commend the officers for the discovery. Dubai-Lagos route is gradually gaining notoriety and we are monitoring it closely. Let me assure members of the public that the NDLEA is working very hard in preventing illicit drug production, trafficking and abuse in the country”
NDLEA commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba, who gave the name of the suspect as Maduewesi Ugochukwu Samuel, declared: “During screening of passengers at the arrival hall, officers noticed that he had some items attached to his legs. It was cleverly done but not good enough to escape our notice.
“When his sucks was pulled down, suspected wraps of narcotics found to be cocaine fell down on the floor. He was immediately arrested and taken for further investigation.”
The suspect who is a commercial bus driver told narcotic investigators that he wanted to quit driving for supply of electrical appliances saying: “I am a commercial bus driver in Lagos. I am from Anambra State.
My friend who lives outside the country introduced me into drug trafficking.
“He promised to help me with capital to start my business but after sponsoring my trip to Dubai, he told me to smuggle drugs to Nigeria. I was instructed to conceal the drugs in my sucks and that it will not be detected.”
That’s how they make money, when they come back they call others lazy.

It is high time people get to know that pushing drugs is no longer as easy as it was those days. You can know longer cross the immigration at various airport because the technology in the airports are now very sensitive to detect drugs no matter how or where you try hiding it in any part of your bodies….. This guy is even lucky he was not apprehended in Dubia.
If am the judge I want jail you coz of the drug trafficking, I will jail you coz of ur senselessness, even mrbiggs security man can dictate that on him big fool. Am sure your mother is not from igbo land. is only your daddy dat is an igbo man. And you took after your mother, cos no igbo man will carry drug for just 800,000 naria dawn dis guy is a born fool dey should jail him for life. Ewu,
A fool is someone dat does not know, and does not know he does not know and refused to know THANKS

Lol. Funny post. Even when you ask a little child to hide cigarette when bringing it to you he or she will not hide it in his or her stockings. secondly, how big and long his stockings is to contain 193 cocaine and his leg. Third, if he pack them can he walk?. Please research for another method to paint the ibo’s bad.
This gossip mill before na lagos danfo driver now na anambra chaii there is God ooo
If the bank approve his loan he will not even think of this, or if the government help the youth he won’t also think of it , why is most Nigeria youth found in stuff like this ? Is because Nigeria Government never care for the citizens , the leaders never help the poor, once they are on top they love and care for their self and family only that’s all , they won’t remember this same people are the people who vote for them , so I don’t blame you bro, may God bless every guys in the street
Let him thank his God that is not in Dubai they catch him
Don’t believe in everything you read
I think he carried jazz along thinking he would appear normal
He is coming back. Get your news well before you post. Gossip mail. They started monitoring him from Dubai. He is Anambra man now…. i don’t know how many times you addressed Ifeanyi Uba as Anambra business man if not a Nigeria business man.
BUT Igbo own na first grade criminal
