Okoye was arrested on or about February 7, 2014 at the departure hall of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, during outward clearance of an Alitalia flight to Italy. The cocaine was said to have been discovered in his stomach at Screening Point 2 of the airport. He was arraigned on a one-count charge of unlawful export of the said banned drug. Mrs Irubochi said the offence contravened Section 11(b) of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act, Cap N30 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
