A drug trafficker has been nabbed in Sokoto State for possessing cocaine.
The trafficker was identified as a 36-year-old man whose name is Nkem Timothy and also known as Auwalu Audu.
He was nabbed by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) as he tried to cross to Algeria through the Niger Republic with 62 wraps of substance suspected to be cocaine.
The value of the drug that he possessed is about N1 billion and this was confirmed by the acting State Commander of NDLEA in Sokoto, Bamidele Segun.
In his submission, he said;
“The illicit drug was neatly concealed inside yoghurt bottles. He was found with an ECOWAS passport with a different name written as Auwalu Audu but he gave his real name as Nkem Timothy.”
