Chairman of the Nigeria Diaspora Commission (NDC),  Hon.  Abike Dabiri has indicted two foreign Airlines, saying that Egypt and Ethiopian Airlines, run drug cartels at Nigeria’s International Airports across the country.

She stated this when she appeared before the Ad-hoc Committee panel headed by Senator Kabiru Gaya on Wednesday in Abuja.

The Committee began investigation of circumstances that led to the arrest of Miss Zainab Habibu Aliyu alongside others by authorities of Saudi Arabia over drug related crimes aboard Egyptian Airlines in December,  2018.

“We have other foreign and local Airlines operating at our Airports,  but Egyptian and Ethiopian Airlines have drug cartels operating at our International Airports.”, Abike said.

“They operate alongside local collaborators. It is not Air Peace,  not Arik Air,  but Egyptian and Ethiopian Airlines.”,  Dabiri insisted.
