Attempts by two suspected drug kingpins to smuggle into Nigeria consignments of heroin through the Port Harcourt International Airport and the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, have been foiled by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Spokesman Femi Babafemi said one of the kingpins who uses dual identities to aid his cross border movements, has a Nigerian passport with his original name, Onyekwonike Elochuckwu Sylvanus, and that of Sierra Leone with a different name: Kargbo Mohamed Foday.

Sylvanus was intercepted by NDLEA officers with his Sierra Leonean Passport on Sunday 2nd February 2025 at the Port Harcourt Airport, Rivers state during the inward clearance of passengers on Qatar Airways flight from Doha through Abuja to Port Harcourt.

He was subsequently taken for a body scan which confirmed he ingested illicit drugs and thereafter placed under excretion observation during which he expelled a total of 62 wraps of heroin in five excretions, weighing 1.348 kilograms.

Investigation reveals Onyekwonike Elochuckwu Sylvanus (alias Kargbo Mohamed Foday) alternates his two identities for different drug trafficking missions between Thailand, Pakistan, Iran and West African countries.
He claimed to have gone full time into the illicit drug trade in 2017 when his clothing and shoe business went down.
