The newly constructed Enugu State International Airport has made its first arrest on drug trafficking recently when the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the Airport, clamped down on a 32-year old Fine and Applied Arts undergraduate of the Anambra State University, Chizoba Anselem.
This is arrest happened during the inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian flight from Brazil en-route Addis-Ababa. He was found to have ingested liquid cocaine packed inside male condoms.
The head of the NDLEA at the Enugu Airport Mr Nsikak Abasi Udoh who confirmed the arrest said that the suspect excreted 25 wraps of a liquid that tested positive for cocaine.
He couldn't hide his excitement over the arrest as he said it was a great feat for them owing to the fact that they just commenced operations.
In the words of the suspect, he said,
Drug trafficking is a serious offence in times like this so this individual deserves it big time.
It's just a huge offence!
