LEADERSHIP reports that the agency also disrupted a pre-wedding (Bachelor’s Eve) drug taking competition in Katsina.

The businessman, Emeka, 44, who claims he deals in copper wire was arrested at the airport upon his arrival from Douala, Cameroon via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Ethiopian Airline with the 12 consignments consisting of 797 pellets of cocaine weighing 17.6 kilograms.

In a related development, NDLEA operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja Lagos on Friday, December 8, arrested a fleeing suspect, Onyejiuwa Prince Ifeanyi, who has gone into hiding since September 8 following the seizure of a United Kingdom bound 20kg cannabis consignment concealed in tomato pastes tins at the SAHCO shed linked to him.
