The operatives of a Special Operations Unit of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested two brothers, 43-year-old John Abugu and 31-year-old Kenneth Abugu, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State with five kilograms of cocaine concealed in walls of their suitcases while attempting to board a flight to India.
The two brothers were arrested at the Lagos airport on Thursday, April 3, 2025, following proactive processing of credible intelligence.
They claimed they were travelling to India for medical treatment but when their suitcases were thoroughly searched by NDLEA officers, whitish powdery substances later confirmed to be cocaine were discovered on the walls of their bags.
The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this via a statement issued on Sunday, April 6.
