Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have intercepted a 22-year-old British national with two suitcases loaded with 35 parcels of Loud, a strong strain of cannabis weighing 37.60kg.

The agency’s Director of Media & Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, revealed the identity of the 22-year-old as Campell Kaizra Kofi Johannes Slifer.

Campbell was coming from Thailand through Doha on a Qatar Airways flight with two suitcases loaded with illegal substances when he was caught at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos on Friday.

According to Babafemi, Campbell claimed he had twice been convicted in the UK for drug trafficking and robbery and was recruited in London to travel to Thailand to pick up the illicit substances and bring them to Nigeria.

Six days before Campbell’s arrest, NDLEA operatives arrested a woman identified as Ihensekhien Miracle Obehi at the Port Harcourt International Airport in Rivers.

Obehi disguised herself in a hijab while attempting to export large consignments of cocaine to Iran.

She concealed the illegal substance in her private part, stomach and false bottom of her handbag.

Obehi was placed under excretion observation, and after four excretions that lasted days, she eventually expelled the 67 wraps of the substance in her stomach.

Babafemi further noted that she claimed she was to swallow 70 pellets of cocaine, but after ingesting 67 pieces, she could no longer swallow the remaining three and decided to insert them into her private part.
