concealed in false bottom of the two bags the suspect wanted to check-in
at the departure hall of the airport.
It added that the arrest took place during the outward screening of passengers on an.....
Ethiopian airline flight to South Africa.
NDLEA commander at the airport, Mr. Ahmadu Garba, said the case was being investigated.
The suspect, who is married with two
