Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a former commercial motorcyclist in Lagos after he allegedly excreted 100 wraps of methamphetamine he ingested in Uganda in an attempt to smuggle the illicit substance into Nigeria.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, shared on X on Sunday.
According to the statement, the suspect had worked as an okada rider in Lagos for 15 years before allegedly joining a transnational drug trafficking syndicate in a bid to improve his financial status.
According to the NDLEA, the suspect was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, upon his arrival from Uganda following intelligence reports and subsequent surveillance by operatives.
