A 28-year-old university graduate of
Economics, Nonso Akubueze, has been
arrested along with four other suspects
by the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency for alleged drug trafficking.
It was learnt that Akubueze and the other
suspects – Simon Omoluonye, Obidike
Onodyer, Friday Onyeabor and Emma Ifoh
– were apprehended at the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Lagos,
with 11.5 kilogrammes of cocaine
substances valued at N57m.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the suspects
had smuggled the drug into the country
from Brazil.
Akubueze, who was found with 1.1kg of
cocaine hidden in his luggage, said he had
left Nigeria for Brazil with the hope of
getting a good job but his expectation was
dashed on getting there.
He said, “I am a 2009 graduate of
Economics but I have no job. I left Nigeria
in search of job opportunities. My
condition of living in Brazil was worse
than when I was in Nigeria. It was my
friend that gave me the bag containing
the drug.”
Omeluonye , 28, said he was to be paid
N1m for the mission, adding that he had
intended to use the proceed to start a
business and further his education.
Forty-year-old Onodyer, told NDLEA
investigators that he was paid N200,000
for the 11 wraps of cocaine he ingested.
He said, “Drug trafficking was my last
option to free myself from the harsh
condition of living in Brazil. Unfortunately,
I could only swallow 11 wraps so I was
paid N200,000.”
The commander at the MMIA, Mr. Hamza
Umar, said the seized drug comprised
white and crack cocaine concealed in tins,
among others.
He said, “Different methods were
adopted in concealing the drug. One of
the suspects, Omoluonye, was caught
with both white and crack cocaine in tins
weighing 7.8kg. Akubueze had 1.1kg by
the side of his luggage while Onodyer
ingested 11 wraps of cocaine weighing 0.5
grammes. Onyeabor was found with 74
wraps weighing 1.3kg and Ifoh was caught
with 34 wraps weighing 0.7 grammes.
“Apart from Onyeabor, who hails from
Enugu State, the four other suspects are
from Anambra State.”
The Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu
Giade, called on members of the public to
shun drug trafficking and engage in
legitimate business ventures.
