Chief Odugwe had pleaded not guilty to previous charges when drugs
were not found on him alleging that his enemies were behind his trial.
NDLEA commander at the Lagos Airport, Ahmadu Garba described Chief Azubuike’s arrest as a sign of what to expect in the future.
“I am happy with this high profile arrest. It is a good way to start
and sign of better days ahead. The suspect travelled to Dubai on 6th
September and was arrested on 10th September on arrival at the Lagos
airport,” Garba explained.
He promised to make the airport difficult for drug traffickers.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade said Azubuike’s
arrest is rewarding for the country’s fight against drugs. In his words,
“the game is up for the suspect who has been charged to court for
sponsoring several drug couriers.”
