34-year-old Ulelu Ugwumba Michael is said to have inserted 2 wraps of a substance believed to be heroin into his anus.
The drugs weighed 120 grams and were discovered when the suspect was screened after arriving the country from Pakistan.
Leadership reports:
NDLEA Airport commander, Mr. Hamza Umar who confirmed the arrest said that the drug seizure was facilitated by scanning machine. According to the commander, “the suspect, Ulelu Ugwumba Michael tested positive for drug possession on his way from Pakistan. When placed under close observation, he excreted two wraps of substances that tested positive for heroin with a weight of 120 grams. The case is under investigation.”
In his statement, the suspect said that he assumed the drug will not be detected since it was just two wraps. “I am a textile dealer in Aba, Abia State. I travelled to Pakistan to buy goods. My business has suffered some downturn in the past two years. The decision to smuggle the drug was to enable me increase my capital.
Since it was just two wraps weighing 120 grams, I was so confident that it will be easy for me to pass through security checks undetected. I am sad over my arrest and pray to God for my freedom. This is my first time and I promise not to smuggle drugs again” Ulelu appealed.
