The class A drug consignment weighing a total of 11 kilograms was recovered from Neetu’s luggage after a thorough search, following processed credible intelligence, during an inward clearance of Qatar Airways flight QR1431 from Bangkok, Thailand via Vietnam and Doha at the arrival hall of the Kano airport on Friday, March 14.

Reacting to the arrest, NDLEA’s chairman, Brig Gen Mohamed Marwa (rtd) said “The arrest of Neetu signifies a growing attempt by drug trafficking organisations to hire white ladies and foreign nationals to move illicit drugs through the Nigerian borders, a bid he said vigilant NDLEA operatives have consistently frustrated with the aid of modern technological tools and proactive intelligence.

NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi also said in another operation in Kano, NDLEA officers, on March 20, arrested a 45-year-old suspect, Michael Ogundele with a 50-litre steel gas cylinder at Gadar Tamburawa, along Zaria- Kano Road.

“Based on credible intelligence, welding tools were later used to cut the giant cylinder after which 50,000 pills of tramadol 225mg concealed in it were extracted,” the NDLEA spokesperson added.
