A 44-year-old businessman, Ezemokwe Chukwuebuka Christian, has been arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for attempting to smuggle cocaine to Iran.

He was caught at the Port Harcourt International Airport on Saturday, June 7, while trying to board a Qatar Airways flight to Tehran via Doha.

According to the NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, “After a body scan proved positive to ingestion of illicit drug, he was placed on excretion observation during which he expelled 53 wraps of cocaine in six excretions with a total weight of 1.172kg.”

The suspect confessed to having been involved in the criminal trade for two years, moving between the West African sub-region and Iran.

Babafemi stated, “The suspect claimed to have gone into the criminal trade two years ago, moving between the West African sub-region and Iran.”

This arrest comes barely two weeks after another businessman, Chinedu Leonard Okigbo, was intercepted at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport with 65 pellets of cocaine in his stomach.
