Drug trafficking: NDLEA invites Arik Air crew members


The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has invited the entire crew of Arik Air flight W3101 that left the country for London Heathrow Airport on Monday for questioning.


This followed the NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Ahmadu Giade’s promise to carry out elaborate investigation into the case.


According to the spokesman of the agency, Mr. Mitchel Ofoyeju, the latest Range Rover car belonging to the prime suspect parked at the airline’s premises has also been moved to the NDLEA office as exhibit.


He said the entire crew members including some support staff that worked on the flight before it departed Lagos are currently before narcotic investigators at the Ikoyi Headquarters of the NDLEA.


They include two pilots and members of the cabin crew comprising an Australian and a South African.


The invitation by the agency was swiftly complied with by the management of Arik Air.


The crew members were conveyed to the NDLEA office in an official bus belonging to Arik Air.


This is part of ongoing investigation to determine their level of involvement in the smuggling of 20 kg of cocaine found with Chika Egwu Udensi, a member of the cabin crew in London.
