NDLEA arrests two Europe-bound Nigerians with 200 cocaine wraps

Two Nigeria businessmen attempting to smuggle 200 wraps of cocaine to Paris have been apprehended at Abuja airport. Aliocus Godian Odife and Sam Blackborn, both Europeans living in Nigeria, were intercepted on their flight from Abuja to Paris on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The duo ingested a total of 200 wraps of cocaine, weighing 3.46 kilograms, prior to their departure.

During a routine body scan, security personnel at the airport discovered the illicit substances in their systems. Upon interrogation, both men confessed to consuming 110 and 90 wraps of cocaine, respectively. They subsequently excreted all traces of the drugs, with the recovered cocaine weighing 1.901 kilograms and 1.559 kilograms.

The seized drugs were part of a larger operation by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Nigeria, which has been actively combating drug trafficking across the country.
