A 32-year-old drug trafficker based in Liberia, Maduabuchi Chinedu, has been arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) in Abuja by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Maduabuchi was apprehended with 9.30 kilograms of cocaine worth over N2.7 billion in street value.

The suspect, who hails from Obaha Okigwe village, Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo state, lives in Liberia where he works as a miner.

He was arrested during an inward t search of Ethiopian Airlines flight 911 at the Abuja airport on Wednesday with 9.30kg cocaine with each pellet wrapped in candies wraps and concealed in his luggage.

During his preliminary interview, Maduabuchi claimed he left Nigeria in 2018 to settle in Liberia where he now has a residence permit.

He, however, added that economic pressure and the need to raise money to treat his mother for an eye problem led him to seek help from a friend in Liberia.

According to him, the friend introduced him to another friend based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia who eventually gave him the drug to deliver in Abuja for a fee of N1 million.

Maduabuchi added that he was initially scheduled to deliver the drugs to Ivory Coast but was rerouted to Nigeria at the last minute.

While commending the officers and men of the NAIA Command of the agency for their vigilance and working in synergy with other security agencies at the airport, Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa (Retd) charged them and their colleagues in other commands to always remain two steps ahead of merchants of death who are getting more desperate to make money at the expense of the image of the country and Nigerians’ wellbeing.

But why, Chinedu?

These are the ones they should be ostracizing and shaming in their communities including the kingpins they confer titles on.

Look below..

They must always get caught.

2.7B naira? Omo Na man u be o! It's funny how we will divert the thread to tribalism! But truth be told, if you've been in an extreme hardship, if better Sapa don hold u for work, to take risk will be the least on your mind! A crime is a crime no doubt, but what if the man was doing it just to change his life once and for all? Unfortunately he was caught, some people u idolized today have done worst things in life, today they are your mentor! Never laugh at a drowning man! Some of u are even stealing at work place, some are stealing from their spouses, some are increasing commodity prices at will! Pastors selling anointing oil, all hustle ba hustle ! In the end Na who they catch we dey laugh at! All of us are sinners abeg

But IPOB vowed to deal with hard drug merchants and buyers. Here is one of them

it's mr, Maduabuchi chineduuuuuuu again ooo ehhhh... Na who do the beat jazzy.... {Ncan}

Na dem Ndi developer ndi mkpurummiri
no wonder they are clamoring for international airport
they don't want to be caught cheaply again

.

I had expected IPOB to say DSS officers and Fulani police are the ones that plant hard drugs on Igbo travellers. But they are yet to clarify that especially when they release circular that DSS officers are responsible for introducing meth to Igbo youths.


If this man had been successful he would have become Chinedu Cubana.

These are the people tarnishing our image

Just imagine how much these drug traffickers have been making since 1999 when we don’t have this clamp down on them. The main owner of this drugs are somewhere chilling and all this one caught are just transporters. To end this menace, they have to start going after the main men or else you will keep on arresting them daily and they will keep on recruiting.

This Marwa is a legend. I wonder why they haven’t started a campaign of calumny against him.

Nigeria's image has suffered!

Get rich quick or die trying..
Dem no send anybody papa!

name checkers will be pleased

Ndi Mkpuru miri desktop charger head again..

N2.7 billion Naira worth of cocaine

This one want to hammer once and for all

The owner of these drugs will still go and buy it back and chinedu will be freed within 3months, you'll never hear the continuation of this case again.

The Hussle is real

I came simply to confirm his name and I am not disappointed
