Though a native of Nnewi South local government area of Anambra State, the 49-year-old was travelling with a Guinean international passport.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect frequently travelled to India on business class tickets and he claimed to be dealing in clothing business between Nigeria and India.

The NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said it was further established that he obtained the Guinean international passport in Guinea Bissau, where he said his mother came from.
