Ratty the Blogger : A businessman who was travelling to Vietnam has excreted 68 wraps of cocaine at Lagos airport.
The Anambra state based-businessman, Ibeanusi Solomon Nosike, excreted the full 68 wraps of cocaine after 12 days of excretion observation following his arrest at the local wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
In a statement released, the spokesperson of the anti-drug agency, Femi Babafemi, said the 36-year-old Ibeanusi was arrested in the early hours of Thursday 8th August 2024 at the old domestic terminal of the Lagos airport while attempting to board the first flight out of Lagos to Abuja where he was scheduled to join a Qatar Airways flight to Vietnam at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, NAIA, Abuja at about 10am same day.
‘’The suspect who came under NDLEA surveillance following intelligence had arrived Lagos from his base in Onitsha, Anambra state the previous day, 7th August and lodged in a hotel where he swallowed the 68 wraps of cocaine before heading to the airport for a 6:30am flight the following morning. He was thereafter intercepted by NDLEA operatives who moved him into excretion observation where he spent the next 12 days excreting the cocaine pellets weighing 1.282 kilograms. ’’he said
In a similar incident, another Onitsha based businessman, Aligbo Chukwudi Jacob has also been arrested by NDLEA operatives following the seizure of a consignment of 1.20kg cannabis concealed in a package going to Dubai, UAE.

After series of follow up operations, Aligbo was eventually arrested in Onitsha on Saturday 17th August, 2024.
