The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, (NAIA) Special Area Command, has foiled an attempt by an intending student to smuggle 13.55 kilogrammes of cannabis to Cyprus. The Head of Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr Jonah Achema made the disclosure in a statement made available to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja. Achema said that Odi claimed that Ihebekwe had told him to come along with some foodstuff and malaria drugs contained in two “Ghana-must-go” bags. The Commander, NDLEA, NAIA command, Mr Kabir Taskuwa said that the mode of concealment of the illicit substances was intriguing. “It is either they are being made to carry drugs from here in Nigeria or they will be used for drug trade abroad.
