Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a former Nigerian international footballer, Segun George Hunkarin, and a businessman, Ntoruka Emmanuel Chinedu, over an attempt to smuggle 22.6 kilograms of cocaine into the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos.
The NDLEA said Chinedu, a frequent international traveller, was intercepted on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, upon arrival from Turkey aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight. A search of his luggage reportedly uncovered 37 wraps of cocaine weighing 800 grams concealed in his hand luggage.
