A Brazilian returnee and father of two, Okolie Paulinus Nwabueze has been arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for importing 92 wraps of cocaine.

Nwabueze was said to have ingested the 92 wraps of cocaine, which he eventually excreted after days under observation in the Agency’s facility.

NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, revealed it on Sunday in a press statement made available to newsmen.

The Statement said:

“The 53-year-old trafficker who hails from Mmaku village, Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State was arrested on Friday 2nd September upon his arrival on Qatar Airline flight enroute Brazil-Doha-Abuja.

“He claimed to have left Nigeria to Mozambique in 2004 and finally relocated to Brazil in 2017, where he obtained a residence permit before deciding to import the illicit substance for a $4,000 fee.”
