If your wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend has flew Arik Air to Ghana, SA, US, UK, before and he or she is acting crazy, just know it's possible the person has eaten a cocaine-contaminated meal. Lol!
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has revealed that it had apprehended another staff of Arik Air, Ikechukwu Chibuzor Oliver, for his involvement in smuggling cocaine to London.
According to the NDLEA, Oliver had confessed to the crime and had revealed that he charged N400,000 for each of the three bags containing the cocaine...
Oliver, Arik's employee in the catering department, was said to have assisted bad boy, Chika Egwu Udensi to get the cocaine onboard the flight on which Udensi arrived in the UK on Monday night.
Udensi, a senior flight attendant with the airline was arrested with the substance by the UK Border Force at the Heathrow Airport, London, shortly after the Airbus A330 landed.
The NDLEA, in a statement, said 35 years old Oliver, who is a catering loader at Arik, was found to have subverted airport security by concealing cocaine in catering supplies.
The statement by the anti-narcotics agency’s spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju, indicated that preliminary investigation had revealed that both Oliver and Udensi had been infiltrated by a suspected drug cartel.
He said Oliver had told NDLEA investigators that he was brought into the illicit drug deal by Udensi.
The NDLEA’s statement quoted Oliver to have said, “It was Chika that introduced me into the drug deal. Whenever Chika gives me the drug, I will hide it in catering supplies. Chika knows where to collect the drug inside the flight. They pay me N400,000 per bag. I was expecting N1.2m for the three bags that I smuggled into the aircraft.”
The statement added,“The 20kg of cocaine found with Chika in London was concealed within the construction of laptop bags. The quantity and estimated street value of the cocaine is over N100m.
“The latest Range Rover (Land Rover) car belonging to the prime suspect parked on the airline’s premises had been moved to the NDLEA office as exhibit.
“He lives there with the mother and siblings while his wife and children are based in Canada.”
Over night big boy, this is how the cookie crumbles!.
