19-yr-old Pakistani caught with N228m worth of heroin at MMIA

A 19 year old Pakistani student named Iftikihar Muhammed Arslan, (pictured above) has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA) for possession and attempted smuggling of 25.400kg of heroin said to be worth N228m into Nigeria, Vanguard reports

Arslan was apprehended at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport during inward screening on passengers on board a Qatar Airways flight. 25 parcels containing the hard drugs were discovered in his luggage.
 
The suspect believed to be in a drug cartel through his passport showed that he left Lahore, Pakistan with the drugs to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, then Doha, in Qatar, from where he connected to Lagos. Continue...
In his confessional statement, Arslan denied knowledge of the drugs in his bag, saying he was here in Nigeria to experience the beauty of Victoria Island and Ikoyi
"I am a student of Punjab College and I am in Nigeria as a tourist because my friend told me that Victoria Island and Ikoyi are beautiful tourist centres. Unfortunately, when I arrived at the Lagos airport, the heroin was found in my luggage. This is my first time of coming to Nigeria and I had intended to spend a week or two.” he said.
Confirming the incident, the Chairman of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade said that this was the highest drug arrest they have made since this year and it goes to show that NDLEA is winning the fight against drug trafficking
"This arrest and seizure will further send a warning to drug trafficking cartels that Nigeria is winning the fight against narcotics. NDLEA is prepared to halt the criminal activities of drug barons through a coordinated drug detection strategies. We are working very hard to also identify other members of the criminal group" he said

He shd be repatriated to serve the sentence due him.Their sentence for drug trafficking is usually Death sentence.
But we can save a young life by allowing him serve his penalty behind bars.

Bad logistics. When u ve nigerians who spend holidays & shop in dubai. Y use a national from a known source of heroin production to courier 4 u. This guy journey should ve stopped in dubai. Like I said bad logistics.

God punish thie boy.
They should so deal with him, afterall, if it were in those Asian countries, he'll be crushed to death.
Imagine smuggling that much heroin into Nigeria- they must figure that Nigeria is a novel terrain when it comes to heroin consumption (since what trends here is still marijuana and the cocaine which seems to be available only to the privileged few who can afford it like politicians and wealthy people) hence, the need to bring it here and destroy the youths in Nigeria as they have, westerners.
God has punished you!

Am I the only one who finds it funny that no one believes the tale of "tourism to VI and Ikoyi". As soon as everyone heard that they scoffed. Haha VI and Ikoyi can't be tourist destinations anymore haba why? *side eye* But the guy didn't try. Please what touristy things will u be looking at in VI and Ikoyi for a week not to mention 2? Abi your planning for traffic to deal with you seriously every day?

He wants our youths to become useless on top of this our already bad Naija situation. Life imprisonment. Many boys don turn one type of bad craze everywhere for road.

That boy is into business oooooo

Exactly hw did he pass abudhabi without being caught its almost impossible

dungagerald said...

Firstly, that boy is an al qaeda agent sent to make sales and remit money to their Nigeria branch working as Boko Haram since Sanusi their chief financier has be frustrated and no more major source of income except through foreign wire transfer (which will expose them) . Secondly, An eye for an eye... A Nigerian of 24 was killed the other day (28 February) in Malaysia for alleged drug offense which happened in 2012. Let this bloody bastard have his head chopped off as they (the barbaric middle easterners) kill our own sons struggling to make it in their land. Kill that bastard! They should give me the honour of killing him personally. Kill that bastard!!! Let every Nigerian chant that till the FG hears our heart and make the Arabians feel our pains too. Useless people worshiping useless god. Mtcheeew

when I read the headline I thought - there is no way this guy can deny knowledge of the drugs having been on him LOL I read his statement and he is denying... ok sweety then you must be a real damn fool to not know ALL THAT was in your luggage. If you are earning through illicit means you will never be at rest till you are caught - so be at rest. When will these people learn that airports are not to be fucked with
