NDLEA arrests female drug trafficker recruited via Facebook

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) arrested 37-year-old Uju Gloria Ezeabata pictured left, with 1.325kg of methamphetamine at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos. According to a report by The Nation, investigations by the anti-drug agency showed that Uju, who was recruited on facebook, was taking the drug to Malaysia. The cartel’s suspected leader, Philip Maduabuchi Akpaka, 39, was also arrested.

When interrogated, Uju who works with an accounting firm in Lagos said: “I met a man on facebook some months ago who lives in Malaysia. He told me while chatting online that he is from my state, Anambra. After some months, he proposed to marry me and I requested that he comes to Nigeria to meet my parents as our custom demands. He promised to fulfil every marriage rite. Months later, he invited me to Malaysia, promising to pay all the travel expenses. After several appeals, I decided to visit him. The day I was to travel, he told me to take along a bag of foodstuff sent by his mother from the village. I was given the bag at the airport but in the process of checking it, drug was discovered inside packs of noodles in the bag and I was arrested.”

NDLEA Lagos Airport Commander Ahmadu Garba while commenting on her arrest, said “Gloria was arrested during screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight on her way to Malaysia at the departure hall. Substances that tested positive for methamphetamine weighing 1.325kg were detected in her luggage. The drug was concealed in 26 packs of Indomie noodles in a bag of foodstuff containing plantain, pepper, melon and other spices. Further investigation led to the arrest of Akpaka, who allegedly coordinated the travel arrangement for Gloria and gave her the bag containing the drugs”.

Also commenting on the arrest, NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive Roli Bode-George urged the public to be wary of drug cartels. 

“Members of the public should be wary of these antics, ascertain a wholesome relationship and report suspicious cases to the agency. Some of the tricks to watch out for include marriage proposals to unsuspecting female victims, unsolicited generosity like cash and other gift items as well as offering all-expense paid trip to Asia, Europe, America and South Africa. The mode of recruitment is also instructive because of its mass appeal to youths. I expect lovers of social media to learn from this arrest.”she said

The cartel’s suspected leader Akpaka admitted preparing Uju's travel papers at the instance of his Malaysia-based friend.

“I am a transporter. My friend in Malaysia asked me to prepare travel documents for Ezeabata. He also asked me to give her a bag to take to Malaysia,” he said.

Further investigation into the matter is ongoing

Why are igbos so neck deep in this drug trade?It is so distressing and alarming. I am not a racist it is just a statement of fact. Almost 80% of busted drug trade is from this group. Why?

Yes noww! Igbos are the most scrupulous, gluttonous, selfish,perverts, tribalistic and aggressive. They sha like to indulge in all sort of shady deals, jst to go flaunt wealths nd cars in their Biafran wrecked states.

At 39, her worst problem is not no husband. It is no brain.

Now include no life and no freedom to d two above and u will get 'Uju (sorrow) instead of Uju(abundance).

Looks stupid, acted stupid, therefore is definitely stupid.

Unu na support ihe ojoor.

Not unfortunate. Na her long throat cause am. Man never meet ur parents, buys u an international ticket to come visit him and u suddenly become stupid. All ur education and experience dat should have come with age gone-with-d-wind. If she had succeeded and upon arrival he turned her into a commercial sex slave nko? Or d Malaysian government got hold of her and executed her?

All because she wants to b married????? Meanwhile married people r looking for how to run away from d marriage.
