Undergraduate ingests liquid cocaine packed inside condoms

A 32-year-old undergraduate, Chizoba Nwabuwa,
has been arrested by officials of the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency for ingesting 25
wraps of male condoms filled with cocaine.
In a statement by the NDLEA's Head of Public
Affiars, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, the agency said the
arrest was made at the newly upgraded Akanu
Ibiam International Airport, Enugu State.
Head of the NDLEA, Enugu Aiport Command, Mr.
Nsikak- Abasi Udoh, confirmed the arrest. He said,
"Nwabuwa was arrested during the inward
screening of passengers on an Ethiopian flight
from Brazil.
"The suspect excreted 25 wraps of a liquid
substance that tested positive for cocaine,
weighing 1.250kg. This is the first drug seizure to
be made at the airport; it is exciting because we
have just commenced operations."
Nwabuwa, who claimed to be a 400 level student
of Fine and Applied Arts at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Awka, Anambra State said, "I wanted to
use the N500, 000 they promised to pay me in
developing my art gallery. They assured me in
Brazil that authorities will not be able to detect
liquid cocaine, so I was confident."
Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA Ahmadu
Giade commended his men for the seizure.
He said, "The Agency accords high priority
attention to all the nations' airports. We shall
continue to improve our operations at the
airports and prevent drug trafficking syndicates
from using them."
