A suspected drug peddler, Anabaronye Tochukwu Ken, has implored the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to release him from their custody. The suspect said he wanted to be with his wife on the day of the delivery of their first baby.
Ken, 36, told narcotic agents that he embraced drug trafficking because of his wife’s condition. He said: “I got myself involved in drug trafficking to take care of my family. I ingested 52 wraps of cocaine for 4,000 Euros. I sincerely plead for mercy. My greatest desire is to be released from custody before my wife’s delivery date.” Since his arrest, the suspect has excreted 52 wraps of substances which tested positive to cocaine.
According to NDLEA spokesman, Mr Ofoyeju Mitchell, the drug weighed 900 grams. Mitchell explained that Ken was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, when the suspect was attempting to board an Air France flight to Milan. The NDLEA Commander at the Lagos airport, Mr Hamza Umar, said Ken’s arrest was made possible by the scanning machine at the airport.
Umar said: “Ken tested positive for drug ingestion during the outward screening of Air France passengers at the departure hall. While he was under observation, he excreted fifty two (52) wraps of substances that tested positive for cocaine with a weight of 900 grammes. Anabaronye is helping us in our investigation activities
