Shocking!!! NDLEA Officers Part Of Drug Syndicate Uncovered In Enugu Airport

 

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has

uncovered a suspected drug trafficking cartel at the

Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu state.

 

According to a statement issued on Friday, November 13,

by Mitchel Ofoyeju, the agency’s spokesperson in Lagos,

two officers of the NDLEA, Daniel Goska and Ndubuisi

Ughor, who are indicted and currently at large, have been

dismissed and declared wanted.

“Other suspected members of the group include

Ifeanyichukwu Dayson, a key member of the drug trafficking

organisation, and Emmanuel Okorie an Operations manager

with Ethiopian Airline,” the statement read.

Among the suspects there were Henry Amaechi, a

supervisor in Passenger Service Department of Nigerian

Aviation Handling Company Plc, and Jacob Ezeugwu, a

ticket and baggage staff at the airport.

 

The statement quoted Ahmadu Giade, the chairman of the

NDLEA, who described the mode of operation of the drug

cartel as strange. He also promised to adhere to global

best practice in drug control in Nigeria.

“No bad egg in the agency will escape justice.

Notwithstanding the strange way the cartel operates, I am

pleased that it was exposed and ultimately dislodged.

“The agency will continue to adopt superior drug control

strategies in line with global best practice. This is one

sweet victory over criminal groups.

“The NDLEA is committed to the eradication of narcotics

from our country and will continue to look both inwards and

outwards for subversive elements,” he said.

A week ago, the NDLEA operatives arrested a 44-year-old

woman, Abdulrasaq Modinat Alake, at Lagos International

Airport. The woman, the Kwara state indegene, was

caught with 4.450 kilogramme of cocaine.
