An automobile spare parts dealer in Lagos State, identified as Levi Ubodoeze, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), for attempting to export two kilograms of cocaine concealed in vehicle propellers to Angola.
This was disclosed in a statement on Sunday by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi.
According to the statement, search of the vehicle reportedly led to the recovery of a large quantity of phenacetin, a cutting agent for cocaine, weighing 75.50 kilograms, packaged and branded as semolina. A digital scale used for weighing illicit drugs was also recovered from his house.
In his confession, Ubodoeze reportedly admitted to his involvement in the cocaine trade while selling motor spare parts at Ladipo Market, Mushin, Lagos.
