A THIRTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD Lagos-based IGBO trader and drug peddler has died of cocaine ingestion at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja.

The suspect, identified as Ndulue Emmanuel Obiefuna, collapsed at the Departure Hall and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Ndulue was an intending passenger on an Ethiopian airline flight to China enroute Addis Ababa on July 5, 2015.

The NDLEA Commander at the Abuja Airport, Mr. Hamisu Lawan said the suspect confessed to cocaine ingestion at the hospital.

"The deceased collapsed at the Departure Hall and was being attended to by Port Health officials. The collapse triggered our suspicion and a narcotic officer was assigned to monitor the development. When the suspect's condition stabilised at the hospital, he confessed to cocaine ingestion. At that point, the NDLEA took over the case from the Port Health Services.

"He later died while receiving treatment," Hamisu stated.

Interim investigation revealed that the deceased hailed from Anambra State. Until his demise, he was a trader living in Lagos. It was gathered that the deceased decided to abort his trip after collecting his boarding pass. This was due to complications arising from the cocaine he ingested. He collapsed immediately he notified the airline officials of his intention to cancel his trip. At the hospital, 55 wraps of substances that tested positive for cocaine with a total weight of 1.20kg was evacuated from his stomach.

The Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, who described narcotic ingestion as a suicide mission, reiterated his call for a drug-free society.

Ahmadu Giade had previously at a press conference provided the statistics of tribes/region involved in narcotics and IGBO people top the list.

Make una stop una tribalism for this country.

Majority of drug dealers with Nigerian passports are IGBO, fact!
Without identifying them and dealing with the issue (as an IGBO problem) we cannot get to the bottom of why IGBOs think getting rich is a do or die affair...

tribalism or NOT IGBOs must be stopped from destroying Nigerian passport abroad (especially in Asia)

A member of the get rich or die trying tribe (aka IGBO) has died at a Nigerian airport before reaching ASIA to disgrace the Nigerian passport!

To say guardian news and thenationonlineng reported this news like this is shameful.

News:
Trend Of Illicit Drug Trafficking Worries NDLEA Boss

National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said on Monday that statistics in the last one year have shown that in every 10 drug traffickers arrested, eight were likely to be from the South East of the country.

"The Igbo ethnic extraction in Nigeria is therefore put the a willing tools in the hands of the drug barons, the Northerners are consumers of the substances, while South West provide storage and platform for trafficking in drugs."

Chairman of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, disclosed this to newsmen in Lagos.

He stated that the development is a worrisome one and then called for concerted effort to be able to stem the tide "at least for the future of the youth of this country".

The NDLEA boss also on the occasion received the report of the committee on awareness campaign on the prevention of illicit drug crop cultivation, trafficking and abuse in Nigeria from its Director General, Lanre Ipinmisho, at the NDLEA headquarters in Lagos.

He noted that the statistic were alarming and predicative.

He added that out of the 18 Nigerians in prison at far away Indonesia, 17 of them are Igbo.

"Even one that answered Olaniyi which was believed to be a Yoruba man later turned out to be Nwachukwu.

"So in a situation of that nature what do you do; you have to cry out, perhaps help would come from somewhere for these promising young men."

Earlier, Ipinmisho, in his address had stated that the Minister of External Affairs, Ojo Maduekwe, who was also at the Indonesian prison with some of the NDLEA chiefs, could no longer contain the situation.

"He has to cry out; why is it that all are Igbo men. At least it should have been WAZOBIA, why? But that was the dilemma of the Minister," Ipinmisho stated.
