The
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 39-year old motorcycle
parts dealer, Ogbodo Chibuzor David for trying to smuggle 11.06kg of dried
weeds that tested positive for cannabis to China.
The
suspect who concealed the drugs in various food items was arrested following the
discovery of cannabis inside his bags at the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Lagos when he was about to board a Qatar Airline flight.
The
suspect who deals in motorcycle parts at Nnewi pleaded that he decided to
smuggle drugs because someone duped him which made his business collapse.
“I gave a
business partner the sum of 30,000 dollars to supply me goods and he
disappeared. That brought my business to its knees and I have been struggling
to take care of my wife and child since a year ago.
“I met
many people for financial assistance but nobody was willing to help until I was
wrongly advised. A friend told me to smuggle cannabis to China,” Ogbodo stated.
The NDLEA
commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar said the suspect would soon be charged
to court.
