Businessman Arrested with Cocaine at Enugu Airport

Lovely Chukwulobelu, a 25-year-old businessman, was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on September 25, 2026, at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport (AIIA) in Enugu while allegedly preparing to board an Ethiopian Airlines flight to Portugal. He had ingested 72 wraps of cocaine, which he later expelled under observation.
Chukwulobelu, who was still wearing his wedding ring at the time of his arrest, stated that he had previously operated a car decoration business at the Trade Fair Complex in Ojo, Lagos, before relocating to Portugal in May 2023. He returned to Nigeria and got married on September 13, 2026.
Chukwulobelu claimed that his involvement in drug trafficking was an attempt to offset the expenses incurred during his wedding. The NDLEA has intensified operations to combat drug trafficking across Nigeria, resulting in multiple arrests and seizures of various controlled substances.
