Officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, have apprehended a 36-year-old Disc Jockey with powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine weighing 855 grammes.
In a statement on Tuesday by the NDLEA Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, the suspect, Iwunze Magnus, with a South African passport number 460709224, was said to have boarded an Iberia flight from Costa Rica enroute Madrid.
He was found to have ingested 52 wraps of cocaine at the arrival hall of the airport, three of which he had excreted on the plane during the flight.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar confirmed the arrest.
He said, “Three wraps of substances weighing 190 grammes that tested positive for cocaine, were, during a routine search, found in Magnus’s pockets. He had excreted them during the flight from Costa Rica.
“He also tested positive for drug ingestion and while under observation, Magnus excreted 49 wraps that also tested positive for cocaine. In all, he had 52 wraps weighing 855 grammes of cocaine.”
Magnus said, “I am a disc jockey and I have my music studio in Johannesburg, where I have lived with my wife and kid since 1997.
“I had wanted to settle the debts I incurred during the burial of my late brother. In an attempt to pay the balance of N300,000, I fell into the hands of drug traffickers who lured me into the trade. They were to pay me $2,500, if I had succeeded.” Magnus is a native of Ibitolu in Imo State.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said, “I understand the suspect had a South African passport. I have ordered a thorough investigation into the case. I also wish to appeal to members of the public to resist any attempt to smuggle and abuse drugs. Magnus will be charged to court at the conclusion of our investigation.”
This is a lesson for you out there who wants to be like another person. No one knows what all the big boys and girls in town does? They own big boutique and have fleet of modern Cars, pls don't be carried away. Some are armed robbers, Human traffickers, kidnappers, Hired killers etc. Just belief that God will make a way for you one day as you persevere. Be contented and keep your good name that is greater than money. Look at the Shame this man has brought to himself, friends, family etc soap cannot wash it off. Keep your honor and dignity as money cannot buy it. So sad as one day for the thief and one day for the owner.
