The suspect, whose identity has not yet been officially disclosed, is accused of concealing the suspected cocaine in a consignment of packaged gari, a popular dried cassava product.
He was apprehended at the airport following an intelligence-led operation carried out by NACOC officers.
Sources at KIA indicated that the suspect is believed to be in charge of production at the manufacturing company linked to the shipment.
