OPERATIVES of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Tuesday night stormed the headquarters of Arik Air in Ikeja Lagos following the arrest in London of a crew member of the airline for allegedly being in possession of cocaine.
The Arik crew member, identified by the anti-narcotics agency as Chika Egwu Udensi, was arrested on Monday night by operatives of the United Kingdom Border Force with 20 kilos of cocaine in London.
The NDLEA agents were said to have searched Udensi’s latest Range Rover parked on the airline’s premises. Arik spokesman, Adebanji Ola, confirmed the visit by the NDLEA’s operatives.
Udensi was arrested at the London Heathrow Airport shortly after an Arik Air flight W3101 that departed from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, touched down in the UK.
Udensi’s arrest came barely two years after two crew members of the Arik Air were similarly nabbed by the UK Border Force in London.
Officials of the NDLEA on Tuesday put the street value of the drug found with the suspect at £350,000 (N105m).
The Arik Air on Tuesday confirmed the arrest of its cabin crew member by the UK Border Force.
The airline, in a statement which read like the one issued after the 2013 incident, said it had commenced investigation into how the banned substance got into the suspect’s possession.
In December 2011, another Arik Air cabin crew, Ms. Chinwendu Uwakaonyenma Ogbonnaya, was similarly arrested in London for drug trafficking.
She was subsequently jailed for five years in London.
Also in 2013, precisely on May 21, two female crew members of the airline were arrested at the same Heathrow Airport in London for suspected drug trafficking.
The two had been arrested after a package of drugs was discovered by Border Force officers on a bus which had been used to transport air crew.
The street value of their haul as of the time had been put at around £600,000.
Culled from Punch.

As in ehn. Sad pity. They keep putting us in bad light. Cabin crew will be going through serious scrutiny henceforth., esp that of Arik.. very unbecoming. If they ask him now, he'll prolly say Arik is owing salaries. Cos I hear a lot about how Arik can like to owe them, including their pilots. But still not enough reason though.
DeletePeople limits their potentials and underestimate what God has in store for them by doing foolish stuff.
ReplyDeleteHe has been in this for a very long time. If not drug where will he get cash to buy a range rover.
ReplyDeleteMost of them do these. Everyday for the thief.
These arik staff can steal from passengers too.
Most people want to make it but don't want to work hard.
Good for him
ReplyDeleteEwu...many more to follow. They never learn.
ReplyDeleteArik's main source of income is from this. Drug trafficking and money laundering. The management don't pay staff well and early enough. Staff too don't mind staying there cos of runs like this. Be giving Nigerian airlines a bad image. Tufiakwa!!!
ReplyDeleteOloju kokoro! By their lifestyle you shall know them. A cabin crew driving the latest Range Rover on top how much salary?
ReplyDelete#105m? No wonder a common crew member drives a range. Serves him right!
ReplyDeleteCrew member is not common how much be range?make poverty no kil una.
DeleteCome on get out Anony 9:22. Who dash crew member money? U must be one of these drug traffickers. Ur day is coming.
DeleteIf you see the way they help smuggle coke pass security into the plane here in Ikeja, you will fear them.
ReplyDeleteMy dear they do it life and direct some personal in the security are also involved.
DeleteYou sound like you're an accomplice.
DeleteAlways from a particular part of the country!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is time the organisation that claims to represent the Kings and People of this part of the country sit down and do something about their youths especially who are accosted everyday by NDLEA and their foreign counterparts rather than stupidly mouth off about being shortchanged in the 'sharing' of political appointments or engage in seditious radio broadcasts.
Don't mind them and the tribalistic bastards on this blog would be nowhere to be found now. Thieves!
DeleteAwon omo komo. Make biafra carry them go abeg, wr need some sanity from these infidels.
Thank you oh!! I think they should really break out of Nigeria. And form their own country. They usually the ones who give us bad name. Their desperation to make money can't be compared to any other tribe. And they will be arguing!!
Delete@ chikita abeg no vex! Na small pickin dey du. Dem!

Silly boy. See his head. He has been doing this for sometime and this time around he got unlucky. And he even has a range rover. Ill-gotten money. And he passed naija border safely. Money must have changed hands naa. With all those hungry officials at the airport.
ReplyDeleteThat explains his Range Rover packed at his work place. Everybody wants to be rich, wants to drive big cars, live in a big house. Too bad. #alinko
ReplyDeleteNa instagram cause am

ReplyDeleteFine boo, see what you have done 2 yourself!
ReplyDeleteHope they didn't intentionally plant it in his bag....
What a pity!
Intentionally plant what? You lack what to say!
DeleteLucky guy, London prison is better than Nigeria prison. Stupid greedy boy.
ReplyDeleteLastborn
Why is Arik the one trying to determine how the drugs got into his possession? NDLEA should do their jobs na.
ReplyDeleteThat's d fact @ Stella, outside dat how would a crew member own a range rover......wonders!!

ReplyDeleteHi Oluyomi, I read your suggestion. Thank you.
DeleteOluyomi I dropped a comment about the dermatologist. Did you get it?
DeleteAmen
DeleteI have no pity on him cos he works with arik, the fraudulent airline, by the way was it greed that made him to carry drugs, am sure he is one of the people that steal people, s stuff in the aircraft that people complain about
ReplyDeleteAbeg na only Arik dwy waka come? Arik is always fingered for almost everything going wrong in the aviation industry.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria will a crew member be driving around in a range and no one asks questions. People dont bother to ask how much people earn to afford their lifestyle.
Heard they get paid 80k a month if they are lucky. I guess the benefit and the opportunity to travel abroad is the reason most of them endure the hardship in Arik.
DeleteSisi eko u r not far from the truth. It's the opportunity of flying about na him dey make them stay. Also sugar mamas and papas. Olosho tinz. Though not all. Feel for this boy.
DeleteAwww so sad,why did he do such a thing. See fine bobo.
ReplyDeleteIgbo kwenu!! Abegi free the guy at least dem catch am for better thiefery no be those ones wet go dey bury human being wey never die alive.Yes when I remember I feel like puking on you demonic group.

If dude has been carrying in the past that means he must have investments he will fall back on when he comes out .This life na OYO....#Headstodagymtopumpoutmasexyass

ReplyDeleteNna meeeeen.
Dear Arik Air, please do something about your staff. You can start by changing the system. Flush out these bad eggs please...enough is enough!
ReplyDeleteuhmmmm, all Igbo names im seeing here.........Money maker/kobo maker, where art thou?
ReplyDeletewell, since the beginning of time, getting rich has never been a product of hardwork it is rather a product of being at the right place at the right time and doing what is right for that moment with the right ones.
ReplyDeletenow unto to u girls out here opening ur slackie-mouths passing judgement on and against d nigga for allegedly caught with drugs with his possession.. y'all needs to shut up and ask urselves why the nigerian youths and young men are becoming more desperate by the day? I, enigmatic Aboki put it to u nigerian girls to be the cause. ur expectations are too high. if they ask any of u ranting here now to choose between that modest young man living down your street and the other fly guy.. living uptown lekki, and drives the said range rover suv? if u all are honest with urselves u will admit that u will go for the fly guy not minding how he managed to acquire those things.. greedy thieves.. the things wey una papa and una brothers and even una uncle dem nor get, una want make other ppl children get am before una go consider their hands in marriage.. gerrarahere mehnnn shit
This is a very useless comment.
DeleteSo you will risk your life and your reputation and your family name just to be able to get the attention of a vain Nigerian girl? You will risk the possibility of your living a normal life because you want to compete with suitors?
Why am I not running from one Ministers party or the other just so I can meet one man who will 'change' my life? Why am I sweating day and night hustling? I can go and marry the long line of old pot belly men with wives at home who are promising me the world so I can be their concubine? Do you know how many unreasonable chances of the 'good life' we girls turn down? Why am I not following yahoo boys, drug dealers and 419ers because I want to 'make' it?
No oh! You people will come here blaming Naija girls. I've not seen any prayerful, intelligent, smart, hard working man with good character that hasn't made it in life. If a man is working hard and the benefits can't be seen after a while then he should go for deliverance and stop whining. Or better still, go and marry the type that will see you as her moon and star and cut ur coat according to ur size.
There are guys who have made legit money and married women of their choice. Stay here and be waiting for them to marry your lazy poor ass. Don't use ur brains and calculate well.
DeleteThey are given Nigerians a very bad name. If you're traveling from Nigeria to the UK, don't be surprised if they treat you like a cocaine career. That's the reason up there. Greedy people.
ReplyDeleteLet me leave you guys to bask in your stupidity, afterall, it is an inherited trait.
ReplyDeleteBrb.
