Ejiofor Enwereaku arrested for importing cocaine
A suspected drug lord paid $24,500 in three tranches to compromise operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi in a statement on Sunday, identified the suspect as Ejiofor Enwereaku.He noted that Enwereaku, said to be the leader of a syndicate, was arrested on May 14 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
The suspect, according to Babafemi, was arrested for importing 36 blocks of cocaine, weighing 27.95 kilogrammes with a street value of over N8 billion, using an organised criminal gang that specialises in tagging/planting drugs in innocent travellers’ luggage.
He was said to have confessed during preliminary interrogation that he was contracted by his Ethiopian associate, a notorious drug baron, to claim and push out the consignment in Lagos. (Channels)
