Cyprus bound student arrested with 13.55 kg of Cannabis in Abuja

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, (NAIA) Special Area Command, has a foiled an attempt by an intending student to smuggle 13.55 kilogrammes of cannabis to Cyprus.

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 Ihebekwe had been his friend of many years before he travelled to Cyprus. He said that he had directed somebody from Lagos to bring the bags to him in Nnewi for him to carry along to meet him in Cyprus.

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.

Seems like the benefactor offered to sponsor the guy's education as a front, the real intention is to use him as a drug mule.

I don’t think so.

Cannabis isn’t that so scarce as cocaine, amphetamines etc.

The guy was just going there fully prepared as “weed” addict like typical Nigerian going to school with his garri

Ok. The report seems to suggest the bag containing the weed was not his but a 'parcel' to be delivered.
