A man has been charged with attempting to smuggle a kilo of cocaine through East Midlands Airport.
Kalu Oleka Ude, 43, of Lome, Togo, was arrested by UK Border Agency (UKBA) officers when he arrived on a flight from Gambia via Paris last Tuesday, an HMRC spokesman said. In a search of his bags they found the drugs, which could have fetched up to £150,000 on the streets the agency said.
Mr Oleka Ude has been remanded in custody at Manchester City Magistrates' Court.
