Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a suspected drug trafficker, Egwuh Inya.
Inya, a building engineer, allegedly attempted to take delivery of illicit consignments concealed in pressure machines imported from South Africa.
A statement on Sunday by the NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said the 42-year-old Inya was arrested on December 2 at the Okeyson Motor Park, Enugu, when he showed up to collect three units of pressure machines containing parcels of Loud, a synthetic strain of cannabis, weighing 7.40 kilograms.
“The consignments had arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos import shed on November 29, 2024.
“Following credible intelligence, officers of the MMIA Strategic Command of the agency had monitored the shipment as it passed 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, the NDLEA operatives, in a follow-up operation in Enugu, arrested Inya when he showed up to collect the consignments,” the statement added.
