Eya this dude done hammer finish o.. 126 million is no joke.. People get rich the right way say no to drugs.

 

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 27-year-old man, Ilo Chidera Alex at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja with 15.850kg of cocaine valued at N126 million hidden inside make-up brushes, while returning from Brazil.

Reacting to the arrest, the Chief Executive of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, decried the plight of some citizens, who are awaiting execution on drug related offences in Indonesia.

Giade said that despite the deplorable condition of those on death row and the efforts of the Government to intervene through Presidential clemency, the agency is still recording arrests of suspected drug traffickers.

According to him, “It is sad that at a time when the fate of some citizens is uncertain following their involvement in drug trafficking, yet we are recording new arrest. Apart from the young man that imported 15.850kg of cocaine from Brazil, we recently apprehended six passengers going to Hong Kong in the same flight at the Abuja Airport. The NDLEA will continue to work with the Government towards ensuring that our citizens on death row in foreign countries get succour through Presidential clemency.”

NDLEA Commander at the Abuja Airport, Hamisu Lawan, who disclosed the arrest yesterday, said that the suspect was found with drugs during routine check of passengers on an Emirate flight.

“One Ilo Chidera Alex was arrested with 15.850kg of cocaine concealed inside make-up brushes. The 27 year old suspect, who hails from Enugu State took off from Sao Paulo enroute Dubai to Abuja. The drug was detected during routine check of passengers. Investigation has since commenced and the suspect will be charged to court soon” the commander assured.

Confessing, the suspect said he was stranded in Brazil and as a result drug trafficking became his only option.

“I went to Brazil in search of job opportunities. In the process, I was stranded because I had no job and money to sustain myself. That was how I met a man who promised to buy my flight ticket back to Nigeria. He gave me the bag of make-up brushes to take to Nigeria and also promised to give me some money to start my own business. At the Abuja airport, the drug was discovered in my luggage,” Ilo stated.
