The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has paraded a drug courier, Maduagwu Nnaemeka Charles, who was nabbed with three kilogrammes of cocaine worth about N81 million. The suspect was arrested at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Kano with the cocaine as he arrived the airport from Brazil en route Egypt.
The commandant of the agency in charge of MAKIA, Ambrose Umoru, said the dangerous drug if diluted could make up to nine kilogrammes of the substance.
He said Maduagwu was arrested during screening of passengers of Egypt Air Flight No. MS 879.
“The suspect had boarded Ethiopian Airline flight No. ET 507 from Sao Paulo, Brazil and transited to Cairo, Egypt, before arriving Kano via the Egypt Airline before luck ran out on him,” he said.
The 28-year-old suspect confessed before reporters that he was in possession of two loudspeakers where the cocaine was neatly concealed, but denied knowledge of being the owner of the dangerous substance.
