operatives OF The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency—NDLEA—arrested 74-year-old  Ikwuakalom Nwakoro Emeka from Imo State, at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, on Saturday while he tried to board a flight to London Heathrow, claiming a vacation trip.

A search found 11.02 kilograms of cocaine wrapped in foil and balloons inside ground dry pepper and other foods.

However online reactions expressed shock, particularly at his age, with some claiming he was duped and others sharing travel caution stories.
