NDLEA has arrested a graduate of Business Administration, Ifeanacho Somadina, with 2.185kg of substances that tested positive for methamphetamine.

The seizure was made yesterday at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

He was about boarding an Ethiopian Airline to Malaysia when the drug was detected in his bag.

NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said the illicit substance was found on the suspect.

The Suspect Ifeanacho Somadina Victor said in a statement "I am single, a graduate of Business Administration, but have been jobless since I graduated in 2008. After several years of joblessness, I became a commercial bus driver in Lagos. I live in Badagry."

He further said "A man I met at a hotel promised to assist me in getting a job in Malaysia. I was happy to travel out of the country even with drugs out of frustration but I was arrested in the process. They promised to pay me $3,500, but I regret everything now because I feel empty inside,” the suspect, who hails from Enugu State confessed to journalists.

The Chief Executive of NDLEA, Alhaji Ahmadu Giade, described the arrest of Somadina as disappointing.
