The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrests and repatriates Festus Ibewuike, also known as Chidibest Ibewuike, a suspected drug kingpin who had been on the run for more than two years. The arrest follows the earlier interception of 49.70kg of heroin at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, which multiple outlets describe as a major heroin haul.
According to reports, Ibewuike is arrested outside Nigeria, with one outlet specifying the arrest occurs in the Benin Republic. NDLEA links the suspect to the heroin shipment tied to the Lagos airport case. Across the different articles, the focus is consistent on the identity of the fugitive, the duration of his evasion, and his connection to the 49.7kg seizure, while details beyond those points are limited in the excerpts provided.
