By Kazeem UgbodagaThe National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Sunday said two businessmen arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, NAIA, Abuja for cocaine ingestion have both excreted 193 pellets of the illicit drug after three days in observatory custody. According to NDLEA’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi, in a statement on Sunday, said though both suspects had businesses they managed in Nigeria, their main source of income had been drug trafficking. “They both travelled to Uganda and from there crossed over to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where they picked the consignments before returning to Abuja with Lagos as their final destination. “After days in excretion room, Ebere Onoh excreted a total of 100 pellets weighing 2.137kg while Christian Ifeanyi Ogbuji expelled 93 pellets hidden in his stomach with a gross weight of 1.986kg,” Babafemi disclosed. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) has urged them and their peers across the country to intensify their drug supply reduction and drug demand reduction activities,” he stated.
