The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested 32-year old Chizoba Nwabuwa, a 400-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Anambra, at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State, for ingesting 25 wraps of male condoms filled with cocaine early this week.
Chizoba arrived aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight from Brazil when he tested positive to liquid cocaine, which weighed 1.250kg. The Fine and Applied Arts 400-level student said he agreed to carry the drugs because his cohorts promised him N500, 000 as compensation and he wanted to use the money to develop his art gallery. Chizoba said his handlers assured him that authorities will not be able to detect liquid cocaine, so he was confident.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency officials say this is the first drug seizure to be made at the newly refurbished international airport.
