Nnewi Motorcycle Parts Dealer Arrested With Drugs On His Way To China
The National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has
arrested a 39-year old
motorcycle parts dealer, Ogbodo
Chibuzor David for trying to smuggle 11.06kg of dried weeds that tested
positive for cannabis to China.
The suspect who concealed the drugs in various food items was arrested
following the discovery of cannabis
inside his bags at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos when he
was about to board a Qatar Airline flight.
The suspect who deals in motorcycle parts at Nnewi pleaded that he decided to
smuggle drugs because someone duped him which made his business
collapse.
“I gave a business partner the sum of 30,000 dollars to supply me goods and he
disappeared. That brought my business to its knees and I have been
struggling to take care of my wife and
child since a year ago.
“I met many people for financial assistance but nobody was willing to help
until I was wrongly advised.
A friend told me to smuggle cannabis to
China,” Ogbodo stated.
The NDLEA commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar said the suspect would soon
be charged to court.
