Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos have arrested two Brazilians who together attempted to smuggle over 23kg of cocaine into the country.

Dias Dos Santos Marcia Cristina, 36, was found with 9.4kg of cocaine in her bag and Lima Pereira Erick Diego, 20, had 14.465kg of cocaine in his bag. The duo, who traveled from São Paulo, claimed to be tourists.

Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesperson for NDLEA, said in a statement that the drugs were carefully hidden in food cans inside their luggage. The cocaine has an estimated street value of N310 million.

Mr. Ofoyeju said that it was the first the NDLEA arrested Brazilians with cocaine at the Lagos airport. However, he explained that the Nigeria-Brazil cocaine trafficking route has gained notoriety over the years.

The cocaine was concealed inside tin food cans “The tins were factory-sealed such that officers had to cut them open to discover the concealed drugs. Several canned drugs had been uncovered at the Lagos airport in the past,” Mr. Ofoyeju said.

Our government won't pronounce death sentences on them because they're white..

Bad people

They came to supply it to their Nigerian middlemen who are most probably IGBOS waiting somewhere in a Lagos hotel, who will then further convey it to the drug markets of Asia such as Mumbai, Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia.

It is a complex business chain, and my Igbo brothers over here are the bottom feeders at the end of the chain. AKA (Street mules)
Don't ask me how I know these things.
Just help me thank God for my life, I am now into legitimate business.

To my brother quoted me below, the truth is that we Igbos might like to blame Yorubas as much as we like, or bury or heads in the sand pretending there is no problem among our Eastern Youth. But there is a big fire on the mountain among our people. And someone needs to speak out.

Oyinbo sef follow hustle

Why are they smiling?

On ur way to kirikiri...

Na so una dey rant nonsense rant. Does the law in Nigeria say they would kill you when you are caught with drugs? Our people know the laws of the countries before smuggling drugs to where they they would be beheaded. So stop crying.

Their smiles says it all.... They know this is just for show.... They are going back home with the money they were promised for bringing it here.... Even a novice knows not to carry drugs in their own bag so for them to carry.... They must have oga at the top....

Is death sentence pronounced on Nigerians who are caught with drugs on arrival or about to depart Nigeria?
