The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a Brazilian returnee with pellets of cocaine concealed in his private parts.
A statement by the NDLEA’s Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi made available to Channel Network Afrique, CNA, in Abuja indicates that the suspect was arrested at the arrival hall of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos State.
According to the statement, the suspect was nabbed on June 20 upon arrival on an Ethiopian Airline flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil, via Addis Ababa adding that the suspect had swallowed 50 wraps of cocaine before departing Brazil and excreted 48 pellets in Addis Ababa where he handed them over to another person.
