Officers of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos,
have apprehended a 36-year-old Disc Jockey with powdery substance that
tested positive for....
cocaine weighing 855 grammes.
In a statement on Tuesday by the NDLEA
Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, the suspect, Iwunze
Magnus, with a South African passport number 460709224, was said to have
boarded an Iberia flight from Costa Rica enroute Madrid.
He was found to have ingested 52 wraps
of cocaine at the arrival hall of the airport, three of which he had
excreted on the plane during the flight.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar confirmed the arrest.
He said, “Three wraps of substances
weighing 190 grammes that tested positive for cocaine, were, during a
routine search, found in Magnus’s pockets. He had excreted them during
the flight from Costa Rica.
“He also tested positive for drug
ingestion and while under observation, Magnus excreted 49 wraps that
also tested positive for cocaine. In all, he had 52 wraps weighing 855
grammes of cocaine.”
Magnus said, “I am a disc jockey and I have my music studio in Johannesburg, where I have lived with my wife and kid since 1997.
“I had wanted to settle the debts I
incurred during the burial of my late brother. In an attempt to pay the
balance of N300,000, I fell into the hands of drug traffickers who lured
me into the trade. They were to pay me $2,500, if I had succeeded.”
