A student who intended to smuggled 13.55 kilogrammes of cannabis to Cyprus has been nabbed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, (NAIA) Special Area Command.


The Head of Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr Jonah Achema, said that the suspected drug trafficker, Sunday Odi, was intercepted at the departure hall of the airport while attempting to board a Turkish airline flight to Northern Cyprus en-route Istanbul, Turkey.

According to him, 23-year old Odi from Ebonyi State, was offered admission to read Tourism and Hotel Management at the Near East University, Cyprus.

“During a search of his luggage, some dried weeds which tested positive for Cannabis Sativa weighing 13.55 kg were found concealed in dried hibiscus flowers and stuffed in empty water bottles.

The drugs were wrapped in little quantities in the bottles which were cut apart for the wraps to enter and sealed back with a brand label ‘Wonder Bitter Root’. The bottles were submerged in the bags with food condiments and provisions, ” he said.

Achema however said Odi denied knowledge of the content of the bag while disclosing that one Emmanuel Ihebekwe, a Nigerian resident in Cyprus, was instrumental to the University admission.

Odi claimed that Ihebekwe had told him to come along with some foodstuff and malaria drugs contained in two “Ghana-must-go” bags.

He said that little did he know he has the intention of finishing his life, ” Achema quoted Odi. The Commander, NDLEA, NAIA command, Mr. Kabir Taskuwa, said that the mode of concealment of the illicit substances was intriguing
