Man Tries To Smuggle $34,000 Hidden In His Pants; Arrested By NDLEA - Photos

Ozoh Ikenna was arrested yesterday October 9th at the International Wing of the Murtala Muhammed Air­port, Ikeja, Lagos, by men of the National Drug Law En­forcement Agency (NDLEA) as he tried to smuggle  23 wraps containing 34 thousand dollars out of the country. Ozoh was on his way to Brazil in an Etihad Airways flight, that would first stop at Abu Dhabi, when he was arrested after customs spotted the money, packed in wraps similar to narcotics and con­cealed in his boxer shorts, during screening of passengers.


 


Speaking on the arrest, NDLEA Airport commander, Ah­madu Garba, told journalists

    “The wraps of dollars found on Ozoh Ikenna were detected with the aid of a scanning machine. We also con­ducted a follow-up operation where one Ogbo Emmanuel (pictured below), who gave Ozoh the $34,000 dollars, was arrested,” the commander stated. 




A rep of As­sets and Financial Investigation direc­torate Mrs Victoria Egbase said investigation conducted revealed that the suspects are involved in the laundering of substantial amount of illicit drug proceeds.

    “We were able to trace over N226,000,000 to one bank account belonging to the second suspect, Ogbo Emmanuel. The account name is Eter­nal God International Limited”. 

Ozoh, in his statement, said that he was only a courier.

    “I live in Brazil since 2008. I was paid to smuggle the $34,000 to Brazil. They promised to pay me five per cent. I agreed to smuggle the money to alleviate my financial hardship. I could not swallow the wraps so I de­cided to hide it in my underpants,” he said
