Four smugglers in an attempt to smuggle cocaine to Brazil were nabbed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos by officials of NDLEA. They were caught during screening of passengers on board Qatar and Emirates airlines.
The four- Ejiofor Eliezer (46), Obah Francis (30), Akpa Sobuzochukwu (27) and 36-year-old Ike Okechukwu excreted 171 wraps of drug that tested positive for cocaine.
Eliezer, who excreted 100 wraps of the drug, told investigators that poverty pushed him to commit the crime.
Francis said he took to drug trafficking to augment the meager salary he earned at a bakery in Brazil.
Sobuzochukwu, who holds a diploma in accounting, also said his poor salary as a cleaner forced him to ingest 26 wraps of cocaine for a fee of S1,500 (about N285,000).
Okechukwu said he did not think that he would be arrested. He said he had thought that the five wraps of cocaine he ingested would not be detected, “I regret my involvement in drug trafficking. I dropped out of school in Junior Secondary School class two and I work in a toy company in Brazil,”
