Operatives
of the Lagos state command of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,
have arrested two persons for allegedly being in possession of 1.6kg of heroin.
The
suspects, Ogbonna Paul Obioma, 36, an auto parts dealer and Okpoagu Stanley
Chijioke, 30, were apprehended at Festac Town, Lagos following a tip-off,
according to Lagos State Commander of the NDLEA, Mr Aliyu Sule.
In his
confessional statement to the operatives, Chijioke, who was recently deported
from India, said he wanted to use the profit from the drug sales to set up a
business.
“I was
recently deported from India. At present, I am jobless and need to establish
myself. My friend in India told me to collect the drug from a lady at Oshodi
area of Lagos. But in the process, we were arrested.
In his
own confessional statement, Ogbonna Paul Obioma said: “My friend came to me
with the drugs that I should assist in looking for a buyer. I decided to
partner with him because he promised to reward me handsomely. My intention was
to make quick money.”
