TEN wraps of cocaine allegedly ingested by a drug suspect, Ozoani Edwin has turned suicidal. The suspect, aged 34, was a commercial bus driver until March this year.
According to sources, Edwin was returning into the country aboard a South African Airline from Brazil when a team of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) operatives arrested him at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja.
Investigations revealed that during screening, Edwin allegedly tested positive to drug ingestion and was placed on observation. The suspect later excreted 10 wraps of substances suspected to be cocaine, which weighed about 180grammes.
Sources disclosed that some minutes later, the suspect complained of stomach pain and was rushed to the hospital where he eventually died. A post-mortem examination revealed the ruptured drug in his system.
Apparently disturbed by the sudden turn of the event coupled with other Nigerians on death roll in foreign countries over drug related offences, the Chairman/Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Ahmadu Giade, reiterated his call for stiffer penalties for drug trafficking.
