A 400-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka
Anambra, was arrested this week at Akanu Ibiam
International Airport, Enugu State, for ingesting 25
wraps of male condoms filled with cocaine.
32 year old Chizoba Nwabuwa arrived aboard an
Ethiopian Airline flight from Brazil when he tested
positive to liquid cocaine, which weighed 1.250kg. The
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency officials say
this is the first drug seizure to be made at the newly
refurbished international airport.
NDLEA in a statement, said:
“The suspect excreted 25 wraps of a liquid
substance that tested positive for cocaine,
weighing 1.250kg. This is the first drug seizure to
be made at the airport; it is exciting because we
have just commenced operations.”
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. Well, they did and now he will be facing the
full wrath of the law. Sad situation!
