The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) has arrested a graduate of Business Administration with 2.185kg
of substances that tested positive for methamphetamine. The seizure was
made at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport
(MMIA) Lagos. He was to board an Ethiopian Airline flight to Malaysia
when the drug was detected in his bag.
NDLEA commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza
Umar said that the suspect was found in possession with the illicit
substance. According to Hamza, “we have arrested one Ifeanacho Somadina
Victor. He had parcels of substances that tested positive for
methamphetamine. The case is under investigation”.
The suspect said that he smuggled drugs out
of frustration. “I am a graduate of Business Administration but have
been jobless since I graduated in 2008. After several years of
joblessness, I became a commercial bus driver in Lagos. I am single and
live in Badagry. A man I met at a hotel promised to assist me in getting
a job in Malaysia. I was happy to travel out of the country even with
drugs out of frustration but I was arrested in the process. They
promised to pay me 3,500 dollars but I regret everything now because I
feel empty inside”. The suspect hails from Enugu state.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA,
Ahmadu Giade described the arrest of Ifeanacho Somadima Victor as
disappointing. “It is very disappointing for a University graduate who
knows the implication of his action to get involved in drug trafficking.
Besides, he was taking the drug to Malaysia where he would have been
executed if caught with narcotics. I am happy with the arrest and call
on members of the public to support the Agency in the eradication of
illicit drugs” Giade stated.
The suspect will soon be charged to court.
