Add BBN on 2BAFB965
49yrs old Fred Obi was about to board an Ethiopian Air flight from Abuja to Tel Aviv, Israel with a strange cargo allegedly concealed in his stomach when the law caught up with him.
He had ingested 1.594kg of c*****e. But he was not the only one boarding that same flight with intention of transporting narcotics they had ingested on November 22, 2014, when they were arrested by men of the NDLEA at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Also arrested were Ekechi Ferdinand (36), Okonkwo Paul (20), Azubuogu Obumneme (30), Okechi Anthony (34), Anozie Henry (34) and Okafor Francis (51).
NDLEA spokesperson, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, confirmed that the raid which was headed by the agency's commander at the Abuja Airport, Mr. Hamisu Lawan, turn out to be a revealing one…
The suspects, who were said to have been arrested and isolated, were soon made to excrete the drug they had ingested.
"The last of the suspects eventually finished excreting the drugs in his stomach this morning (Thursday, November 26)," Ofoyeju said.
Ferdinand excreted 1.616kg of c*****e, Paul – 1.103kg, Obumneme – 1.450kg, Anthony – 935 grammes while Henry exctreted 874 grammes of c*****e.
The oldest of the suspects, Francis, on his part excreted 1.167kg.
All the suspects, except Obi, were said to have Hong Kong as the destination on their tickets.
NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, said that the arrest of the suspects was an added victory to the war against drug trafficking in the country.
He said, "Coming at a time when commanders of our agency are holding a summit to move the agency forward, this is a welcome development.
"Having seven suspected drug traffickers on a single flight is a reflection of the desperation of drug cartels.
But this will prove to them that the NDLEA has the capacity to stop drug trafficking no matter what method they employ.
"Fortunately for the suspects as well, our arrest has saved their lives because for the suspects heading to Hong Kong, it is clearly stated in their visas that drug trafficking in Hong Kong attracts the death penalty.
Nigeria has equally been saved from an embarrassment their arrest would have caused if they were caught over there."
