An import and export businessman, Chibuzo Calistus Olisaka, has been nabbed by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency with 256 wraps of cocaine weighing 6kg, which he body packed, at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, Kano State.
It is the single largest interception of cocaine at the Kano airport since the creation of the MAKIA Command of the NDLEA in 2006.
The seizure was made on December 15, 2024 during the inward clearance of passengers on Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 941 from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
