Babatunji Wusu –

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seized Freeman Charles Ogbonna, who was on his way to Delhi, India.

At the screening point of Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Terminal 2 in Ikeja, Lagos, the agency discovered that he had consumed 80 wraps of cocaine.

In a statement made in Abuja on Sunday, the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said that Ogbonna was arrested on March 31 while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to Delhi, India via Doha.

According to Babafemi, the man, who held a Liberian international passport with the name Carr Bismark, underwent a body scan that revealed the intake of illegal substances.

Over the course of four days, the defendant pooped 80 wraps of cocaine weighing 889 grams through his mouth and anus.

Babafemi said, “Preliminary checks revealed his real identity as Freeman Charles Ogbonna and was subsequently placed under observation in NDLEA custody where he started to manifest signs of discomfort. Obviously choked by the volume of illicit drugs in his stomach and another substance taken to hold back excretion.

“The suspect soon began to retch before starting to vomit and excrete wraps of cocaine he ingested almost simultaneously.”

Babafemi emphasized that the suspect who asserted he was coerced into drug trafficking by a relative, revealed that he was directed to ingest the drugs at a hotel in the Ipodo area of Ikeja.

Ogbonna alleged that he was promised a reward of N300,000 cash upon successfully delivering the consignment in India.
