The Nigerian Drug Law
Enforcement Agency disclosed that they had opened investigations after the Arik
Airline workers were allegedly caught with cocaine in the Uk.
NDLEA spokesperson, Mitchell
Ofoyeju said the allegations constituted a national embarrassment.
“We are aware of the arrest
and we have
opened an investigation into
the matter,” Ofoyeju said.
Banji Ola, Arik Air
spokesperson said he was not aware of the incident or flight details.
However, Arik Air image
maker, Banji Ola said he was yet to be briefed on the matter.
It would be recalled that in
December 2011, a 29-year-old Arik Air female hostess, Miss Chinwendu
Uwakaonyenma
Ogbonnaya, was arrested at
Heathrow Airport over allegation of drug smuggling into the United Kingdom and
was thereafter sentenced to five and a half years imprisonment last year.
