A 40 year-old bicycle parts dealer has been
arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency (NDLEA) with 1.700kg of heroin.
The suspect, Nweke Livinus Uchenna
whose journey originated from Pakistan
was found to have ingested narcotics
during routine search of passengers on
Etihad flight at the arrival hall of the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport (MMIA) Lagos. NDLEA commander at
the Lagos airport, Hamza Umar said that the suspect
excreted 100 wraps of substances that tested positive for
heroin weighing 1.700kg.
"While he was under observation, Nweke Livinus Uchenna
excreted 100 wraps of heroin. He has provided useful
information that the investigation team are working on"
Hamza stated.
The suspect who is married with a child said that he is
heavily indebted. "I was a successful dealer of bicycle
parts until I lost 9 million naira to fraudsters in 2009.
That was the beginning of my problems. As I speak, I am
heavily indebted to the extent that I am afraid to switch
on my cell phones. My brother is also bedridden for three
years and they look unto me for assistance. I feel sad
that I am in this condition.
Circumstances forced me to collect 450,000 naira to
smuggle drugs from Pakistan. I pray for forgiveness"
Nnweke apologized.
