The Lagos-based auto-parts dealer was arrested by agents of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), after allegedly excreting up to 52 wraps of cocaine at the Lagos airport while trying to board Air France Airline en route to Milan, Italy.
NDLEA officials say the 36-year-old suspect swallowed up to 900gm worth of the illegal substance and defecated for good four days before all wraps were recovered.
According to Punch, Ken begged to be released before his pregnant wife delivers adding that, "I got into drug trafficking to take care of my family. I ingested 52 wraps of cocaine for a fee of 4,000 Euros".
