“Okeke was arrested with 20.75 kilogrammes of black liquid cocaine on Tuesday, March 15, upon his arrival at the Abuja airport onboard a Qatar Airways flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil, through Doha, Qatar, to Abuja.
“The liquid was discovered upon search of his two luggage stuffed with six smaller bags containing 32 make-up mascara, which tested positive for cocaine.”
