NEW DELHI: A Nigerian drug trafficker on his way to Malaysia to deliver the contraband died aboard a plane on Tuesday, after the drug-filled packets he swallowed burst in his stomach.
The Lagos-based Daily Sun newspaper reported today that Chilaka Ogbonna Emmanuel, 25, died onboard a Qatar Airways flight enroute to Malaysia via Doha.
"When he developed complications from the ingested drugs, the crew tried to assist him.
"But when his condition deteriorated, the airplane was forced to make an emergency landing in India to give him proper medical assistance," reported the newspaper.
According to the daily, the suspect was confirmed dead in a hospital in Mumbai.
Nigeria's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) spokesman Jarikre Ofoyeju said a post-mortem revealed Emmanuel had ingested narcotics and his death was due to complications.
But Nigerian authorities did not reveal the quantity or type of drugs the deceased was attempting to smuggle to Malaysia.
The NDLEA revealed 68 suspected drug traffickers were detained at Lagos Airport in the first six months of this year. -- BERNAMA
