A 34-year-old South American from Suriname, Dadda Albert, searching for his long-lost Nigerian father, has been arrested for smuggling into Nigeria, 117 parcels of cocaine concealed in extra-large latex condoms factory-packed inside bottles of 100ml body spray by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA).

Albert was said to have been arrested at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Rivers State.

The Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday.

Babafemi said, “The suspect claimed he departed his country, Suriname, located on the North Eastern coast of South America on April 2 for Sao Paulo, Brazil, and he departed from Sao Paulo to Nigeria on Friday, April 7 on board Qatar Airways flight in search of his long-lost Nigerian father, whom he called ‘Omini’.”
In the same vein, NDLEA operatives and other stakeholders at the Tincan Seaport in Lagos were said to have intercepted 110 parcels of Colorado.

Babafemi said the strain of cannabis, weighing 55kg, was hidden in a container bearing five units of used vehicles, marked MSCU 4972769, from Toronto via Montreal, Canada.

“The seizure was part of a total of 1,559.3Kg (1.5 tons) of the psychoactive substance seized during interdiction operations in five states in the past week,” he said.

Meanwhile, two suspects, Nura Ibrahim, 40, and Habibu Sadiq, 38, were arrested with 120 blocks of cannabis, weighing 148.7kg, along the Zaria-Kano Road on Sunday, April 2.

Babafemi also noted that not less than 418.5kg of the same substance and a Sienna Space bus used in conveying it were recovered on Thursday, April 6, at a notorious drug hub, Patey, Lagos Island.

Similarly, a suspect, Azi Solomon, was arrested on the same day at Ojota Garage while attempting to move 23kg of cannabis to another state.

Two suspects, Abubakar Abdullahi and Stanley Tobias, were arrested on Friday, April 7 with 108,000 tablets of tramadol at Oyingbo Motor Park in Lagos Mainland.

In Imo, NDLEA operatives intercepted a commercial bus, from which, a total of 37,210 pills of opioids and 30 bottles of codeine syrup were recovered and three suspects were arrested in follow-up operations.

Also, a total of 40.9kg of cannabis was seized from two suspects – Haruna Adamu, 32, and Salisu Ibrahim, 30, in parts of Taraba State, just as 502, 840 pills of tramadol and exol-5 were recovered from another suspect, Imrana Aliyu in Wukari, on Thursday, April 6, while 205.6kg was recovered from the home of a fleeing suspect in the Gida Dubu area of Bauchi metropolis.
