The NDLEA says it has arrested two Europe-bound Nigerian men in Abuja for allegedly ingesting and smuggling 200 wraps of cocaine to Paris, France. Vanguard, Daily Post Nigeria and The Punch all report the men were detained in connection with the alleged attempt after arriving at or being processed through the airport area.
The outlets differ on additional details. Vanguard adds that the operation also involved the arrest of a woman on the Abuja–Kaduna Expressway found with 266 rounds of live AK-47 ammunition. Daily Post Nigeria and The Punch focus on the two suspects, including Daily Post Nigeria’s mention that the men “excreted” the cocaine wraps and The Punch’s inclusion of a weight figure (3.46kg) for the alleged cocaine.
Overall, the common account across outlets is that NDLEA arrested two Europe-bound Nigerians in Abuja over a 200-wrap cocaine haul aimed at Paris, while only one outlet adds a separate firearms-related arrest.
