The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a suspected drug trafficker, who initially tested negative to screening machine detection, in his bid to smuggle out 77 wraps of Cocaine, weighing one kilogram.
The spokesman of the agency, Mr. Jonah Achema, said yesterday in a statement that the 50-year old Adam Abubakar Muhammed had ingested 77 wraps of Cocaine but was nabbed during the outward screening of passengers of Tarco Airline to Khartoum, Sudan.
He quoted the NDLEA Commander at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), Ambrose Umoru, as saying that the suspect who hails from Maiduguri, Borno State, basking in the validity of his ‘charms’ had boasted to persons close to him that no amount of screening by NDLEA would reveal any substance.
“Muhammad had initially tested negative when he was X-rayed, only for him to start excreting the illicit substance when he was kept under observation based on reliable intelligence.
