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.
