Attempts by one Emmanuel Chibuzor Omebere and a female passenger, Isesele Obehi, to export illicit drugs to Europe through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja were thwarted by officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, who arrested them shortly before they boarded their flights.

NDLEA’s Director, Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, announced this in a statement issued on Sunday.

According to Babafemi, Obehi was nabbed on Saturday during outward clearance of Ethiopian Airline flight at Gate B departure hall of the Lagos airport on her way to Milan, Italy, with three hundred and twelve (312) sachets of Tramadol, weighing 1.5kg, concealed in crayfish and dried vegetables, while Omebere was equally caught with 137.45 grams of the same drug concealed in foodstuff at the Abuja airport on Thursday during outward clearance of Turkish Airline flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

In another development, a 38-year-old pregnant woman, Kate Ngozi Nwuju was arrested on Tuesday 14th Sept at her residence in Rumueme, Mile 4 area of Port Harcourt, Rivers state, with 4.5kilograms of cannabis following intelligence that she sells drugs.
