Drug smuggling has taken a new dimension! Smugglers have taken their materials to the lab and come up with a new formula: The Ice cream cocaine!
A 50-year-old man was caught yesterday with 9.500kg of the new formula – creamy cocaine – at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency. However, what has piqued the interest of the agency is the creaminess of the hard drugs being smuggled, the first of its kind found in Nigeria!
The 9.500kg cocaine which looks like ice cream was being smuggled into the country in four big coolers by an unrepentant suspected drug trafficker, who is facing trial over unlawful importation of a kilogramme of cocaine from Brazil in 2010.
The suspect, Martin Ikechukwu, from Enugu State, was caught with the substance that tested positive for cocaine on his way from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
According to the Vanguard, operatives of the NDLEA detected the drug following suspicion on the four giant sized water coolers. Further examination revealed the parcels of drugs after it was cut open. Four parcels each of creamy cocaine were found to have been industrially strapped round the body of the four coolers.
In all a total of 16 parcels weighing 9.500kg with an estimated street value of over 90 million naira were recovered during search at the arrival hall of the airport.
Naija o!! Ice cream cocaine?! These drug smugglers keep devising new means – ingenious ones!
