The NDLEA's spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, made this revelation in a statement on August 25, Sunday.
When the 36-year-old attempted to board the first flight from Lagos to Abuja, where he was supposed to board a Qatar Airways flight to Vietnam at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at around 10am that same day, he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday, August 8, 2024, at the old domestic terminal of the Lagos airport.
The suspect, who was placed under NDLEA monitoring after receiving information, had traveled to Lagos the day before, August 7, from his base in Onitsha, Anambra state. He checked into a hotel there and consumed the 68 wraps of cocaine before leaving for the airport for a 6:30 a.m. flight the next day.
