Wanted drug dealer arrested in Lagos church, man excretes heroin
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have arrested a suspected drug dealer, Stephen Ikeanyionwu, who was declared wanted for allegedly attempting to export 69 kilogram of cocaine, heroin and cannabis to the United Kingdom through the NAHCO export shed of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at Ikeja, Lagos.
A statement on Sunday by the NDLEA Director, Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi said the suspect was traced to a popular Pentecostal church on Mike Ajari Street, Ojodu Berger, Ikeja, Lagos, on Sunday August 15, 2021, when he was arrested soon after he stepped out of the service.
According to the NDLEA, the arrest followed the interception of a consignment of illicit drugs weighing 69.6kg going to the UK through the Lagos airport on Thursday, August 12, 2021.
“The illegal baggage had been sent to the airport through a freight forwarding company which in turn gave to a driver at the NAHCO export shed. Following the arrest of the driver, follow up operations and investigations later revealed the true identity of the actual owner of the consignment, Stephen Afam Ikeanyionwu, who was arrested three days later in a string operation”.
