Mr. Hamza Umar is Commander, National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), in-charge of Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos. In
this interview with Femi Ogbonnikan, he speaks on
breakthroughs his command has recorded,
methods being devised by suspected traffickers to
courier hard drugs in and outside the country,
among others. Excerpts:
. How many arrests since the beginning of this year
have you made?
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. But the highest drug
that is very new in part of Africa is metampithamine.
It is a new drug being produced here in Nigeria and
in other West African countries. And its price is
twice or thrice more than cocaine. So, you can see
what is attracting them to it. And they carry this
substance mostly to Asia and Pacific and they don't
take it to Europe or America. December has just
begun but we have removed out of circulation
400.6kg of hard drugs in this Airport. When I mean
by hard drugs, I mean class 'A' in United Nations
classified hard drugs.
. So, how many passengers have you arrested since
the beginning of this year?
We have made a lot of arrests. This year, we have
arrested a total of 111 suspects.
If you are to compare between the number of arrest
you made in 2013 and this year, would say there has
been a decline or rise in drug trafficking through the
Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja,
Lagos?
Yes, definitely, there has been a difference. I would
say there is a rise in terms of UN-classified drugs.
Last year, we seized what I would call psychotropic
substances. They are just synthetic psychotropic
substances, while last year, the volume seems to be
bigger, because we have seized about 438 kg of the
psychotropic substances like trimadol, a substance
that is commonly abused in the North and in the
Eastern parts of Nigeria. That trimadol substance is
what young guys in the north use to enhance or
stimulate themselves. The two suspects we have
arrested are still with us, one was in Kano and the
other one in Onitsha and that is what gave a big
volume of last year. All those we arrested last year
are just purely ordinary drugs worth 259.985kg of
methamphetamine and 87kg of cannabis sativa,
13.395kg of heroin then, 76.43 kg of cocaine. So, you
can see the difference. This year's seizure is higher
than last year. Last year alone, cocaine seized was
76.43 kg, while this year, we have seized 97.02kg.
And last year, heroin worth 13.935 was seized, while
51.01 kg of it has been seized this year. Can you see
the difference? Last year, cannabis seized was
87.5kg, but this year we seized 95.77 kg. If we put it
together here, this year, nothing like psychotropic
substance, yet, we have over 400.6 kg of hard drugs
seized.
. How many of these suspects have you prosecuted
in law courts?
What I will tell you is that every drug trafficker that
has been arrested has been prosecuted, but it is
only that I can't give you the statistics and it is
because our national headquarters is based in Ikoyi,
Lagos, and that is where we have our legal unit. One
thing I want to tell you authoritatively is that we have
never lost a case, as far as our operation is
concerned. We have made a seizure of 400 kg hard
drugs and the suspects have been prosecuted,
because we do thorough investigation, before
handling them over for prosecution.
. You are in-charge of Murtala Muhammed
International Airport, the busiest with highest
number of passengers; which brand of hard drugs
do these suspects usually traffic in or out of this
country?
Before it used to be cocaine, but now there is a
common drug that I told you we have proved
beyond reasonable doubt that the drug is being
produced here in Nigeria. May be, you might have
heard when our Chairman, Alhaji Ahmadu Giade,
spoke about the discovery of clandestine
laboratories used to produce methampithamine
drugs. Now, they traffic mostly in it and it is number
one in hierarchy, because we produce it here. And
next to it is cocaine and after cocaine, people also
deal in cannabis than heroin, because we produce
cannabis here also in Nigeria.
.What method have suspects devised to traffic these
hard drugs?
.They do a lot of methods. One is concealment,
as you know. Two, they do ingestion. Three, they
do what we call insertion. This insertion is what
they hide in private parts, while some put them
in their anus. They also, conceal it in their hair,
wigs or fake bosoms. You will see a lady and you
will say this one is blessed, but there is no
blessing in that and instead, it is a concealment
method.
