Nigerian Man Who Inserted Cocaine In An’us From Brazil, Arrested

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested Maxwell
Obumneme Ikeh at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) in
Ikeja, Lagos, with substances that tested positive for cocaine inserted in his
a’nus.
The suspect was coming from Brazil with drugs packed in six wraps weighing
120 grammes inserted into his an’us.
Another suspect, Tochukwu Akumma Nwakpo, was also arrested while trying
to export a consignment containing 1.860kg of methamphetamine sealed in tin
tomato paste to South Africa
NDLEA Lagos Airport Commander Ahmadu Garba feeding questions from
metropolexpress said Ikeh, 40, and Nwakpo, 27, had targeted the festive period
to smuggle drugs.
He said: “Intelligence report received by the agency indicated that the
suspects specifically targeted the festive season to smuggle their drugs. Ikeh
was caught on arrival while Nwakpo that hid methamphetamine in tomato
paste meant for export to South Africa was equally arrested.
Ikeh said this was his first time of dealing in drugs, adding: “I am married with
a child and live in Lagos. I sell children diapers and clothes but travelled to
Brazil two months ago expecting to buy my goods at a cheaper price. In the
process, I decided to smuggle 120 grammes of cocaine for monetary gains.
I inserted six wraps of the drugs into my an’us yet it was detected and that
was how I was arrested. This is my first time.” Nwakpo, 27, an automobile
parts dealer at Ladipo Market in Mushin, Lagos, said he was only assisting a
friend to send a consignment of foodstuff to South Africa.
“I sell motor parts at Ladipo market. My friend in South Africa asked me to
send a luggage to him. He called somebody in Lagos who brought the bag to
me and I took it to the airport for shipment. During search, the drug was
detected and I was arrested,” he said.
