Nemesis caught up on the four (4) suspected drug traffickers who have excreted 171 wraps of cocaine after being placed under observation by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The suspects includes- Ejiofor Eliezer (46), Obah Francis (30), Akpa Sobuzochukwu (27) and 36-year-old Ike Okechukwu, according to NDLEA, were apprehended at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos after attempting to smuggle cocaine to Brazil.
Eliezer, who excreted 100 wraps of the drug - the highest single ingestion since January 2015, told investigators that poverty pushed him to commit the crime, adding that he had intended to use the expected money that will come out from the biz to fend for his family of four.
He said, “I live in Brazil, where I work in a supermarket and lived with my wife and four children. Life in Brazil is tough because I live from hand to mouth. It was poverty that made me to smuggle drugs. I took risk by swallowing 100 wraps of cocaine for N200,000 because of poverty.”
