Egwu, 42, was arrested on Monday December 2, 2024 at Okeyson Motor Park in Enugu when he showed up to collect three units of pressure machines inside which were hidden parcels of Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, weighing 7.40 kilograms.

The consignments had arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA Ikeja Lagos import shed on 29th November, 2024.

NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi in a statement on Sunday explained that “following credible intelligence, officers of the MMIA Strategic Command of the Agency had monitored the shipment pass through clearing processes up to a logistics company’s warehouse outside the airport where it was to be collected by the consignee.

“The importer however changed the point of collection to Enugu at the last minute. As a result, NDLEA operatives in a follow-up operation in Enugu arrested Egwu when he showed up to collect the consignments.”
