The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrests a 30-year-old businessman based in Italy, Joseph Cyril, at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, for ingesting 98 wraps of cocaine. NDLEA says he is held after the wraps are recovered following his arrest on Sunday.
NDLEA’s media director, Femi Babafemi, publicly states the case and reports that Cyril was attempting to travel to Italy at the time of his arrest. One outlet adds the total weight of the drugs as 1.510kg. Both accounts attribute the arrest to NDLEA operatives working at the airport and present the matter as part of the agency’s efforts to stop drug trafficking.
While the reporting focuses on the same core incident—Cyril’s ingestion of the cocaine wraps and his arrest at Enugu airport—details vary slightly between outlets, such as whether weight is explicitly cited. The sources converge on the date of the arrest, the location, the identity of the suspect, and the alleged quantity of cocaine.
