The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has arrested a Chinese businessman, Liang Tak You, and an 80-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Grace Ekpeme, during a nationwide operation that uncovered consignments of Colorado— a synthetic cannabis strain—stuffed in moimoi sachets, and Canadian Loud concealed in imported canned food items.
This was according to a statement by the Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, in Abuja, on Sunday.
Babafemi noted that Liang was arrested at the arrival hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, on Friday, following actionable intelligence.
“The suspect, who arrived in Nigeria from Bangkok via Dubai on an Emirates Airlines flight, is a Chinese national, naturalised and based in Malaysia. “He reportedly travelled to Thailand to pick up two suitcases containing 50 parcels of Loud, weighing 26.10kg, before flying to Nigeria”, Babafemi stated.
He explained that NDLEA operatives, who had been tracking Tak You from his port of departure, allowed him to pass through immigration and other airport protocols before arresting him on his way out of the airport.
