(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.
