A drug trafficking suspect who said he needed money to bury his late father, ran into trouble as he was arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, with 62 wraps of 750 grammes of narcotics, which he swallowed in Benin City.
The suspect, Tony Ubebe, based in Italy, travelled from Benin to catch a flight to Europe when he was caught.
