'christmas Money' Caused Us To Delve Into Drug Trafficking - Suspects by Nobody: 7:43am On Dec 31, 2014
OMG ! I Cant believe this! Suspects arrested by NDLEA ( Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency) in connection to drug trafficking have confessed that they went into the business just because they want to live large this christmas period. But wait a minute, is christmas all about having fun, drinking your self to stupor and buying expensive clothes, footwears etc? i thought it was a time for reflection and to prepare our self and make our ways right and just? People need positive orientation towards life.
According to Vanguard, Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have smashed a drug trafficking syndicate, with the arrest of 14 suspects. The suspects were alleged to have dissolved some of the drugs, worth N3 million, in water and absorbed in two towels and a T-shirt, while others were industrially packed in tin foods and body cream packs.

Eight of the suspects, according to Lagos Airport NDLEA Commander, Mr Hamza Umar, were apprehended at the point of smuggling the substance, which tested positive to cocaine, into the country from Brazil and Argentina, while six others were intercepted while attempting to smuggle the drugs to Hong Kong, Dubai, Italy and Brazil.

He said: “Four of the suspects were apprehended aboard flight Royal Air Maroc, on their way from Brazil.

“Okafor, 25, was caught with 13.735kg cocaine in tin food; Okeke, 29, was arrested with 3.425kg cocaine absorbed in towels; Akpobome, 32, was found with 1.730kg of cocaine absorbed in T-shirt; Ani, 37, was found with 300 grammes of cocaine; Madububa, 38, ingested 845 grammes of cocaine; Amuka, 26, ingested 1.505kg cocaine, while Ijoganu, 25, ingested 1.240kg of cocaine.
“Others include Obiefuna, 40, who was found with 500 grammes of cocaine; Ogbodu, 48, was caught with 1.650kg of cocaine; Nwakama, 32, was caught with 1.060kg of cocaine; Egbueme, 31, was found with 1.190kg of cocaine; Nwachukwu, 38, was found with 975 grammes of heroin/cocaine; Adebayo, 30, was caught with 5kg of cannabis and Oforegbu was caught with 505 grammes of cocaine.”
