"One of the suspects, Okonkwo David Anagor who hails from Ayamelum Local government range of Anambra state," the leader included.
Upon cross examination, Anagor said, "I was flying out to Dubai to spend holiday and further my studies yet they called me from Dubai that some person will give me Garri in Lagos.
"When I got to Lagos," Anagor, who hails from Ayamelum nearby government territory of Anambra State, proceeded with, "the individual called me and gave me the sack of Garri. This is my first time of going outside the nation."
"At the airplane terminal, the Garri was looked and 445 sachets of Tramadol were found inside the sack. That was the way I was captured," he included.

In like manner, Chigozie was captured with 610 grams of cocaine while endeavoring to load up an Emirate flight to Pakistan.
Additionally, Augustine, who hails from Imo state, was hoping to be paid N2.5 million portrayed his capture as misfortune.
As per him, "I have lived in Brazil for a year and six months I have endured attempting to bring home the bacon in Brazil. I got included in drug trafficking in order to begin authentic business. I anticipated that would have made N2.5 million from the arrangement.
"Tragically, my accomplice who might have gathered the drug in Dubai neglected to show up so I needed to come to Nigeria with the drug. That was not the first arrangement. This is a misfortune and I feel so pitiful," Chigozie noted.
