Photo: 400 level student caught with cocaine at Akanu Ibiam Airport

A 400-level student of Nnamdi Azikiwe
University, Awka Anambra, was arrested this
week at Akanu Ibiam International Airport,
Enugu State, for ingesting 25 wraps of male
condoms filled with cocaine.
32 year old Chizoba Nwabuwa arrived aboard
an Ethiopian Airline flight from Brazil when he
tested positive to liquid cocaine, which
weighed 1.250kg. The National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency officials say this is the
first drug seizure to be made at the newly
refurbished international airport.
NDLEA in a statement, said:
“The suspect excreted 25 wraps of a liquid
substance that tested positive for cocaine,
weighing 1.250kg. This is the first drug seizure
to be made at the airport; it is exciting
because we have just commenced operations.”
The Fine and Applied Arts 400-level student
said he agreed to carry the drugs because his
cohorts promised him N500, 000 as
compensation and he wanted to use the money
to develop his art gallery. Chizoba said his
handlers assured him that authorities will not
be able to detect liquid cocaine, so he was
confident. Well, they did and now he will be
facing the full wrath of the law. Sad situation!
