On arrests made just in 2014: “Yes, what I am going
to tell you would shock Nigerians, because it is not a good omen
something worth celebrating. If you are fighting a war and you see
people committing the same crime and you will begin to ask yourself,
what is the problem? What happened? But you will be surprised from
January to date at this particular airport; we have impounded more than
400.26 kg of hard drugs. The breakdown shows 97.02 kg of cocaine, 51.01
kg of heroin, 95.77kg of cannabis.
