The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrests a 48-year-old businessman, Nwankwo Innocent Onyebuchi, at Lagos airport as he prepares to travel to India. Reports say he is found with cocaine during the operation.
In addition to the airport arrest, the NDLEA recovers drugs valued at about N3.6 billion in separate operations across Nigeria. The recovered substances are reported to include colos and codeine, along with the cocaine linked to the India-bound suspect.
Both outlets describe the case as part of broader NDLEA efforts targeting illicit drug trafficking and movement through major transport hubs. While the coverage differs slightly in focus—one highlights the suspect’s background and attempts to “liquidate assets,” and the other emphasizes the logistics of the India-bound arrest and the Lagos location—they agree on the core facts: the arrest, the cocaine, and the N3.6 billion drug recoveries.
