A Vietnam-bound businessman, Paul Okwy Mbadugha, has been arrested at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, after testing positive for ingesting cocaine.
A report from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) stated that the 54-year-old suspect excreted 88 wraps of the drug, weighing 1.71 kilograms, after four days under observation.
In a separate operation, NDLEA intercepted 800 grams of synthetic cannabis, popularly known as Loud, concealed in noodles destined for Congo at Lagos Airport. Further, a large consignment of “Loud” from Canada was also seized, with 65.8 kilograms recovered from a suspect, Desalu Taophic Temitope.
The agency continues its crackdown on drug trafficking, recovering massive quantities of narcotics across Nigeria.
