Fake Couple Arrested After Excreting 184 Wraps Of Cocaine

A fake couple, Kingsley and Roseline Ilonzeh have been nabbed by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) for ingesting 184 wraps of cocaine.

The Director, Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Mr Femi Babafemi, said this in a statement on Sunday in Abuja where he disclosed that the drugs ingested by the couples weighed 3.322Kg, while another 100 grams of the drug was concealed in the woman’s private part.

He said that the suspected drug traffickers were purportedly going for medical treatment in India.

He said that the two suspects were intercepted at Screening Point 1, Terminal 1 of the international wing of the Lagos airport on Aug. 1, while attempting to board an Ethiopian airline flight to India.

Babafemi further said that though their travel documents showed consistency in their names and depicted them as a couple, an NDLEA officer however, decided to subject them to body scan.

He said that the scan confirmed the couple ingested drugs as a result of which they were later placed on excretion observation at the agency’s facility.

The statement reads partly, “Their travel documents identify the man as Ilonzeh Kingsley Onyebuchi and the lady to be Ilonzeh Roseline Nonyelum.

“Preliminary investigation reveals that the intending passengers are not a couple but obtained the travel documents in the same surname to beat security checks at the airport.

“The lady later gave her real name as Ngogbike Nkechi. During an interview, she confessed that she was recruited in her Church in Aba, Abia where she lives.

“The suspect, Ilonzeh Roseline Nonyelum (aka Ngogbike Nkechi) states further that she is a divorcee and that Kingsley, with whom she is travelling is not her husband but connected only for the purpose of the illicit drug business trip.

“She said that Kingsley, her arranged husband, brought the pellets of cocaine to ingest her in the hotel where they both lodged in separate rooms on July 31,” he said.
