In a statement by Femi Babafemi, Director of Media and Advocacy, the NDLEA said preliminary checks revealed his real identity as Freeman Charles Ogbonna and he was subsequently placed under observation in custody where he started to manifest signs of discomfort.
Babafemi said the suspect soon began to retch before starting to vomit and excrete wraps of cocaine he ingested almost simultaneously, obviously choked by the volume of illicit drugs in his stomach and another substance taken to hold back excretion.
