The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Saturday, said it had obtained closed-circuit television footage of how the Arik Air crew member, Ikechukwu Oliver, the main accomplice, who works as a catering loader, smuggled three bags of cocaine among food supplies.

The anti-narcotics agency had also invited a 32-year-old younger brother of the main suspect, Chika Udensi, for questioning over his alleged complicity in the ongoing investigation of 20kg of cocaine seized by the United Kingdom Border Force from his brother, Uwachi Udensi, at the Heathrow Airport.

According to the NDLEA, three vehicles, a Land Rover Sports Utility Vehicle, an Equinox Chevrolet and a Dodge Hemi Magnum, have been seized from the main suspect.

Operatives of the NDLEA had stormed the headquarters of Arik Air in Ikeja, Lagos, on Tuesday night, following the arrest of an Arik Air crew member.

The NDLEA agents had also searched Udensi’s latest Range Rover Sports Utility Vehicle parked in the airline’s premises.

Udensi was arrested at the London Heathrow Airport shortly after an Arik Air flight W3101, that departed the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, touched down in the UK.

Officials of the NDLEA had put the street value of the drug found with the suspect at £350,000 (N105m).

In a statement by the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Saturday, the agency said narcotic investigators were still working on evidence gathered on the case so far.

The statement read in part, “Further investigation has shown that Mr. Chika, the main suspect, lives an ostentatious lifestyle far beyond his salary. He is also believed to be involved in laundering illicit proceeds of drugs under the cover of automobile importation.

“The operational tasking order issued by the NDLEA Chairman to its operatives to look inwards into the activities of the agency and other airport workers is an immediate measure to avert acts of compromise calculated to undermine airport security.”

The NDLEA also stated that the management of Arik Air was giving necessary assistance to the agency.

The statement also quoted the Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, to have expressed his satisfaction with the success of the investigation and directed investigators to further widen their search for more.

Criminal is criminal be it yoruba,igbo or hausa and should be treated as such#f**kethnicbigots

There is another thing to be investigated. From where do these gentlemen get the drug and who and to whom it was suppose to be delivered to in London? The NDLEA should get the big fish in this business. These 2 men maybe the small size fishes.

NDLEA find the big fish. If these guys are responsible for the act, all their belongs and wealth should be confiscated, this should be the way to deal with them.

Na wao

Tell your brothers to stop giving Nigeria a bad name. I pray Biafra comes true. Then we will stop hearing a Nigerian was caught with drugs.

Ofe m'manu m'manu people would soon flock this thread.

I can authoritatively say that most part of you tribalistic cranium is Filled with urine instead of Brain tissues.

the no the change. how long will the keep doing this kind of business

Arsenal fan hehehe.

And why would the world be in peace when Racism is the order of the day Where white man will abuse black man racially,why would there be peace in Nigeria when tribalism is at its peak,the Igbo man hates the Yoruba man,the Yoruba man hates Ijaw man,the Ijaw man hates the Hausa man and the Hausa man Hates the Igbo man. Do you think God will answer our hypocrite prayers at the Churches/Mosques for peace to reign when our hearts are full of hatred for other tribes?? Never is the answer,till we change,and the truth is that I don't see the change coming any soon. How can it when a tribe is always happy if one tribe is caught in one crime,and prays they continue in the crime so they can be always be disgraced. When a tribe is happy abt a tribe's insurgency,the other is happy abt the others' being drug dealers,serial rapers, peadophile,cultism,militancy and so on..... I doubt if there will be peace in Nigeria,if we should tell ourselves the truth,look at what is happening in Nigeria everyday,accidents ,divorces,insurgency,crashes,high rate of crime,all these God will not answer our PRAYERS if we continues to hate ourselves and be TRIBALISTIC always.

Back to the matter,the main drug dealers are free in Streets of the world,take the Mexican whom escaped prison as an example,there are cartels,Drug business is worse in western world and top govt. officials are aware of their activities,imagine these guy owning 3 luxury cars and he is just flight attendance,I suspect arik air should know abt his deals because it did not start today.

Bro im not being a tribal bigots but it has always been igbos, just yesterday three were arrested right in front me in johannesburg caught with heroine
