The officials claimed that, Obivuko, was caught with the help of body scanner during the inward clearance of passengers for Turkish airline flight No.TK0625 from Brazil.

He added that the instrument had greatly improved the NDLEA’s efficiency, saying, Obivuko, according to the NDLEA official had decided to take the risk and was apprehended.
Hamza noted that anal insertion by men was a rare and dangerous mode of drug concealment, but said his men were ever ready to beat drug traffickers in their own game.
The suspect, who hails from Orumba North Local Government Area in Anambra State, said he ventured into the drug business in order to give his in-law who died in Brazil, a befitting burial ceremony here in Nigeria.
