A 26-year-old  man has been arrested  by the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA,  for alleged drug trafficking.  The suspect, identified as Nzeka Chika,
who was heading to Malaysia, was caught  with over 1.800kg of methamphetamine
worth over N5 million, stuffed into tin tomatoes at the Murtala Mohammed International
Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos.


The suspect  who claimed to be ignorant of death sentence for drug offenders in Malaysia
is being interrogated by anti-narcotic agents over unlawful exportation of  the drugs.   Officers
of the agency  who  made the arrest at the weekend following the discovery of drugs inside
tomato paste at Lagos, Nigeria, said the suspect is cooperating with investigators.


According to a source, the drug  which was  industrially packaged in two big tin tomato
containers, clothes and foodstuff was detected during the outward screening of an Egypt Air
flight to Malaysia at the Lagos airport . NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar who gave
the name of the suspect, as Nzeka Chika, a commercial motorcycle rider in Okigwe, Imo State
said he was still under interrogation.


“The two big tin tomato pastes with 1.8kg of methamphetamine were in Nzeka’s bag
containing clothes and foodstuff like yams, rice, beans, garri and spaghetti. The food
items were meant to distract officers from the tomato pastes” Hamza stated.



Similarly, NDLEA operatives at the Lagos State Command arrested a drug peddler,
identified as Yomi Kito.  Sources said the   arrest was affected after a raid at the
notorious drug enclave of Akala Mushin, Lagos last Saturday.


Residents of the area who applauded the agency after the arrest urged them to
carry out more of such raids.   A resident, who  craved  for anonymity over fear of
reprisal told Crime Alert,  “We have suffered a lot of insecurity  from  the presence
of these hoodlums smoking Indian hemp around this area for a long time and security
agents have been insensitive to their presence. We want them to do this often so
that they can make this area unattractive for drug users.”

Thank Yoruba for your kindness
Igbo really learnt the trade well from the masters
baba Suwe swalloed his own Igbo boy put for tin tomatoes
naw for Naija

These are really desperate times and people are seriously looking for survival means. Come to thing of it, How was he able to perform that "trick"?

@afam, do u just type with out reading the topic?which one is death by hanging?in lagos?is he even going to jail?this crook ndlea will go sale the stuff and let him go free,thats their game,because the boy didn't pay them the normal N500k thats why they caught him,poor boy,5 miilion naira is too much for an okada rider even 2 million is much for him

I think say na for malaysia dem catch am. The guy is lucky sha.

ok,but they couldn't have suspected that in Malaysia sha,unless their scanner dictates stuff they don't open baggage, Malaysia is wrong for him to even try thou.

The NDLEA people should look further into this thing.

Its no small fit placing drugs inside a tin and sealing it like that. This is the second time that I have read about such. The first one was in a milk tin, complete with the silver sealing.
The question should be how they got hold of such an equipment. I believe that it should be owned by manufacturers and industry type persons. Now are the owners of these factories involved in this scam?! If so, then I think they should also be arrested. The question on the mouth os the NDLEA guys should be, HOW DID YOU GET THE DRUGS INTO THE TIN?!
