Mr Daniel Lanre Akintola was caught with 1.978Kg of heroin concealed in the false bottom of his luggage. NDLEA commander at the Airport, Mr Nsikak-Abasi Udoh said the 43-year-old pastor almost abandoned his luggage gor fear of arrest but his intention was detected.
Akintola, who claimed ownership of the bag containing heroin, said he was returning from a pastor’s conference.
He said: “I am a pastor with one of the pentecostal churches, at Ipaja, Lagos. I attended a minister’s conference in Uganda.
“This bag, where heroin was found, is my bag but I am a pastor and not a drug trafficker.”
The suspect who hails from Oyo state but lives in Lagos could not produce evidence that he attended a ministers conferences in uganda nor could he explain why he left Uganda to Enugu.
