The illegal baggage had been sent to the airport for export through a freight forwarding company, which in turn gave a driver to deliver at the NAHCO export shed. Following the arrest of the driver, follow-up operations and investigations later revealed the true identity of the owner of the consignment, Stephen Afam Ike Anyonwu, who was arrested three days later in a sting operation.
