According to a statement on Sunday by Femi Babafemi, the agency’s spokesperson, Chux was arrested on December 25, 2022, at the ‘D’ arrival hall of the Murtala Muhammed international airport in Lagos.
“An initial search of the suspects’ two checked-in bags almost made him a free man as there was nothing incriminating found there, until the NDLEA officers took a second look at the duty-free shopping nylon bags containing packs of candies he was holding in his hands. The agency also said between December 24 and 27, 2022, its officers arrested three other suspects in Kwara, Kogi, and Niger states, with 256 kilogrammes of illicit substances.
