An arrest of one Mr Stephen, Afam Ikeanyionwu who was said to be a major suspect of drug dealing was made yesterday Sunday inside a Pentecostal Church in Ojodu Area of Lagos by the NDLEA.
He was currently on the wanted list for making an attempt to export a 69.65KG of cocaine, cannabis and heroin to the UK through export shed of Muritala Muhammed International Airport.
Femi Babafemi who happens to be the Spokesman for the NDLEA, said that Mr Stephen was traced and tracked down to Pentecostal church at Mike Ajari Street, Ojodu- Berger, where he was apprehended as he was stepping out of service.
His arrest was made possible through a lead from one of his colleagues who was arrested while trying to export illicit drugs weighing 69.65kg to the UK and passing through Lagos Airport on the 12 of august Thursday. The illegal bags had been sent to Aiport for exporting the goods through an unregisterd company who also hand it over to a driver to deliver at the export shed.
It was the arrest of this driver and investigation that led the NDLEA to trace back the real owner of the drugs to Mr Stephen Afam Ikeanyionwu and he was arrested three days after a proper investigation.
