NDLEA stated that the suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on KLM airline flight from Canada at the terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on Thursday 3rd October 2024. Femi Babafemi, Director, Media & Advocacy, NDLEA Headquarters, Abuja, made this known in a statement on Sunday.
