"The suspect claimed
to be a shoe merchant, however, during interrogation it was revealed
that he only used the shoes as a way of concealing cocaine. He had two
bags containing female shoes and hand bags. The drug was discovered in
the soles of the female shoes and he was immediately arrested,” he said.
The
NDLEA spokesman said when interrogated, the suspect claimed he was given the bag of shoes by some friends in Brazil who
promised to pay him handsomely if he successfully trafficks the drug
"I live and work in Brazil. I was given the drug with a promise that I
will be handsomely rewarded if I successfully deliver the bag in
Nigeria. They also assured me that somebody will help me in collecting
the bags at the airport in Nigeria. Unfortunately, officers demanded to
search my bag and in the process, the cocaine was found in my bag,”
the suspect told the NDLEA
