Okey Eze, a Nigerian who claims to be a tiler by profession, was apprehended by NDLEA operatives at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja with 350 wraps of cocaine worth over N2.3 billion in street value NewsReport gathered.
The 38-year-old Eze, from Orji River in Enugu State’s Oji-River Local Government Area, was apprehended on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, during an inward clearance of passengers on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 911 route Bamako-Addis Ababa-Abuja.
