The suspect, who hid the drugs in his bag was detected by the anti drug agency at the departure hall of MMIA, Lagos while attempting to board an Ethiopian Airline flight to Malaysia.
NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, who disclosed this yesterday said, the suspect was found in possession with the illicit substance.
According to Hamza, “we have arrested one Ifeanacho Somadina Victor.
The Commander said, the suspect had parcels of substances that tested positive for methamphetamine, adding that the case is under investigation”.
According to NDLEA, the suspect, who hails from Enugu state confessed that he smuggled drugs out of frustration and that the suspect will soon be charged to court.
“I am a graduate of Business Administration but have been jobless since I graduated in 2008. After several years of joblessness, I became a commercial bus driver in Lagos. I am single and live in Badagry. A man I met at a hotel promised to assist me in getting a job in Malaysia. I was happy to travel out of the country even with drugs out of frustration but I was arrested in the process. They promised to pay me 3,500 dollars but I regret everything now because I feel empty inside”.
