In a major drug bust at Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Nigerian authorities have arrested 20-year-old Osei Parker, a Ghanaian-British national, for attempting to smuggle 19.4 kilograms of “loud” — a potent strain of cannabis.
The arrest was made during the inward clearance of an Ethiopian Airlines flight arriving from Bangkok, Thailand.
Parker, who claimed to be a computer science student at the University of East London, is now at the center of an intensive investigation led by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

According to NDLEA officials, the drugs were expertly concealed, raising suspicions about Parker’s possible involvement in a larger trafficking network.
His dual citizenship and international route have triggered concerns over how student visas and air routes are being exploited for drug smuggling.
The agency says it will collaborate with international partners to uncover any wider connections.
If convicted, Parker could face severe legal consequences under Nigeria’s strict drug laws.
