“The suspect claims he travels frequently to China, Dubai, Pakistan and Vietnam, from where he imports baby clothes he distributes from his Onitsha, Anambra State base,” Babafemi stated.

Also, NDLEA operatives at the Lagos airport have thwarted an attempt by a suspect, Chimezie Innocent Nwafor to export 2.10 kilograms of methamphetamine to Brazil.

The NDLEA said follow up operations led to the arrest of three more suspects linked to the consignment at Oyingbo market, Yaba, Lagos.

They include: Ifeanyi Onu; Simon Nwuzor and Omini ThankGod Peter.

The meth consignment was molded into 25 bars of local black soup called Dudu Osun and packaged in a carton for export to Brazil.

The NDLEA also said similar attempt to export a cocaine consignment consisting of 300grams of raw cocaine and 200grams of phenacetin, a chemical agent used to adulterate and increase the volume of cocaine, concealed in packs of air freshener, going to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, was also foiled by NDLEA operatives attached to the SAHCO export shed at the Lagos airport on Monday 20th March. A suspect, Onyeze Obiora has been arrested in connection with the seizure.
