Drug baron abandons cocaine, as another suspect excretes 54 wraps of drugs

A suspected drug trafficking syndicate at the Murtala Muhammed International airport Wednesday abandoned cocaine-weighing 5.9 kilogrammes
The drug was detected by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos led by its commander, Mr. Hamza Umar.
The drug was carefully hidden inside industrial equipment originated from Panama, Central America. The discovery was made just as a suspected drug trafficker excreted 54 wraps of cocaine he ingested in Brazil.
NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, Hamza Umar said the cocaine consignment was left unclaimed.
 “The luggage was imported from Panama. When nobody came forward to claim ownership,
we invited other security agencies and carried out a search. It was in the process of searching that the cocaine was discovered inside industrial equipment.
A 36-year-old man, Onyema Watson Goodman Nnamdi, was also apprehended in connection with the ingestion of 54 wraps of cocaine weighing 875 grammes. Both seizures weighed 6.775kilogrammes,” Hamza said.
The suspect said that he wanted to get married with the sum of $4,000 that he was promised.  
Chairman of the Agency, Ahmadu Giade, promised to investigate the illegal shipment and expose those behind it.   He said: “Drug barons have no hiding place.. This case shall be thoroughly investigated and those that are responsible will be exposed and brought to justice”.
He urged members of the public to support the anti-narcotics campaign in the interest of humanity.

He said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
