He told investigators that he swallowed several pellets of methamphetamine in Uganda before travelling to Madagascar to deliver the illicit consignment.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 48-year-old commercial motorcycle rider who excreted 100 wraps of methamphetamine after attempting to traffic the illicit drug through Lagos, while operatives also intercepted Canadian Loud cannabis valued at over N10.3 billion at the Apapa seaport.
The anti-narcotics agency disclosed that the suspect, Onyechere Daniel Chinadu, was arrested by NDLEA operatives at the Terminal 2 Arrival Hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, on June 28, 2026, after arriving from Madagascar via Addis Ababa on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the NDLEA's Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, officers who searched the suspect's checked-in backpack recovered 87 wraps of methamphetamine concealed inside clothing.
During interrogation, Chinadu reportedly confessed that he had worked as an Okada rider in the Oke-Afa area of Lagos for 15 years before a Uganda-based associate allegedly recruited him into drug trafficking.
