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.
