Two Nigerian drug dealers, Aikhomoun Daniel (alias Oladapo Olanrewaju) and Ayigoro Waheed Omobolaji have excreted 150 wraps of Cocaine at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
They were arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Friday, 21 June, 2024.
Femi Babafemi, NDLEA’s spokesman, in a statement on Sunday said the duo were on their way to Doha on a Qatar Airways flight.
He said they were arrested at the screening point of terminal 2 after they tested positive to ingestion of illicit substances.
Babafemi added that Aikhomoun and Ayigoro were thereafter taken into observatory custody.
“While Daniel excreted a total of 90 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.022kg in six excretions, Ayigoro discharged 60 wraps of the same Class A substance with a total weight of 662grams in five egestion,” he said.
He explained that further investigation revealed that Aikhomoun actually stole the identity of his late uncle who was once based in Germany, a decision he claimed he took to get Schengen visa to enable him free access to Europe, while his real name is Oladapo Olanrewaju.
Meanwhile, Babafemi disclosed that no less than 40.32kg of Loud, an imported strong strain of cannabis was on Friday 28th June recovered in a black Toyota Tacoma truck along Lekki-Ikoyi road when the driver jumped off the vehicle after noticing that NDLEA operatives were on his trail.
“In Abuja, NDLEA operatives on Friday night disrupted a drug party dubbed “Go hard or Go Home. Pick Your Poison”, where sixty (60) suspects comprising 25 males and 35 females were arrested at an apartment in Sun City estate in the Federal Capital Territory. The raid followed credible intelligence about the drug party organized by one Stanley Ikechukwu who was arrested at the venue,” he said.
