Politics / Cocaine Smuggling' Nigerian Politician Held In Lagos by heryyy(m): 2:14pm On May 18, 2010 |
A Nigerian politician has been arrested on suspicion of smuggling cocaine at Lagos airport. Nigerian drug enforcement officials say Eme Zuru Ayortor swallowed nearly two kilograms of cocaine (4.4 lbs) in order to fund his election campaign. Police say body scanners revealed the contents of his stomach as he attempted to board a flight to Frankfurt. Mr Ayortor, aged 52, is running in the election to the local House of Assembly in Edo state. 'Wider network' Officers from Nigeria's drug law enforcement agency say they recovered 100 parcels of cocaine from the politician's stomach at Lagos' Murtala Mohammed International Airport. The quantity of cocaine we recovered is large. We believe it may not be his first attempt to smuggle drugs Nigerian police officer It is understood that Mr Ayortor told officers he needed the money - because his last election campaign, in 2007, bankrupted him. He was arrested two weeks ago - police are now at the end of their investigation. They believe Mr Ayortor is part of a wider network. "The quantity of cocaine we recovered is large," one officer told the BBC. "We believe it may not be his first attempt to smuggle drugs." Mr Ayortor, a qualified pharmacist, studied at the University of Wisconsin in the US. Politicians in Nigeria raise large amounts of money at election time: much of it goes on bribing election officials and paying gangs of young men to intimidate voters. Last month, customs officers at the same airport seized a consignment of military uniforms which they linked to politicians preparing for elections next year. Nigeria is a major transit route for drugs - from South America and Asia - to the US and Europe. More than 300 tonnes of narcotics were seized in the country last year. Drugs law enforcement officers in Lagos have only four police sniffer dogs to monitor the airports, land borders and a massive seaport. They privately complain they need many more sniffer dogs to do their work properly. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8688550.stm |

Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua is dead, a presidential aide has confirmed to the BBC. A spokesman, who did not want to be named, said Mr Yar'Adua died on Wednesday, although there's been no official announcement yet. Mr Yar'Adua, who became president in 2007, had been ill for some time, and had not been seen in public for months. After much wrangling, Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan was accepted as acting president in February. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/8663824.stm |

@ poster:
I am very familiar with this kind of stories, alot of this happens in the UK. My elder sister's case was exactly like this one but my aunt was the one in question.
The normal excuse such people give is that I paid for your fare to the UK and brought you up blah blah. This is emotional blackmail, this individuals are master manipulators, domineering, self centered lazy people who want to use other people to satisy their whims and caprices. Her mother may plead with her to make contributions to the home but she shouldnt outrightly take everything from her, Girls of her age are married with kids and so she she ought to see herself as an adult and independent. Imagine her mother telling her that she wants to finish her house in Nigeria obviously her salary if for the mother to complete her house in Nigeria not for the girls upkeep.
Your GF is obviously scared to death of her mother and that is the grip the mother has over her, Her mother is very domineering. if she doesnt want to end up depressed, bitter and frustrated, she had better leave the mother fast, whatever inconviniences she would suffer in trying to adjust to a new life on her own is nothing compared to the number of years she has being enduring this.
Tell your GF to be very bold and not allow her mother to dominate or manipulate her into being a slave. She is taking her on a guilt trip to manipulate her into be enslaved. If the mother truly loves her she would always consider that those who work so hard deserves to be paid adequately. The mother should be grateful that she has a dutiful daughter. my sister had to escape from my aunt in the end. After my sister left, the other girl she brought from Nigeria went through the same thing and was even forced to stop going to school. A word is enough for the wise
Some people on nairaland find it difficult to believe,some says i cooked up the story just to gain attention,i am glad u are also aware of this,thanks for backing me up ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) |

POSTER
I DISAGREE WITH YOUR POSTING, ON FOLLOWING,
1. HOW DID YOU GET THE CALL LOG IF YOU ARE IN NIGERIA AND SHE IS IN LONDON.
2. IF HER MUM PAYS HER SCHOOL FEES THEN SHE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL.
3. IT IS NOT EASY TO BE A "SINGLE-PARENT". AND HER MUM IS A "SINGLE-PARENT" RAISING THE CHILDREN WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.
SO MY ADVISE TO HER IS TO UNDERSTAND HER MUM AND KNOW THAT SHE (MUM) HAS NO EVIL AGENDA AGAINST HER.
BUT IF SHE IS NOT SATISFY WITH HER MUM, WELL SHE CAN COME BACK TO NIGERIA TO STAY WITH HER BOY FRIEND(POSTER). MAY BE YOU WILL TREAT HER BETTER.
AND MY ADVISE TO YOU(POSTER). A MOTHER WILL ALWAY BE A MOTHER . AND YOU CANNOT REPLACE HER(MOTHER) UNTIL YOU MARRY HER. SO STOP INSTIGATING HE HATE BETWEEN MOTHER AND DAUGHTER . IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GOOD CONTRIBUTION TO HER LIFE PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HER .
AFTER-ALL U ARE JUST LOVE SICK.
Its obvious you didnt contrate while reading the story,i never mentioned anywhere in Nigeria,we are both together here in UK and we attend the same college. |

Poster i find this story very hard to believe, her/your account has far too many holes in it. One one hand i believe it is possible for someone to bring their ward/child in illegally and subject them to abuse similar to what your friend's but hey not in this instance. It is possible the girl came into the country illegally and is using someone else's NI at work while pursuing her education. In all this she hasnt told you how her tuition is being paid or if the mum is planning to change her visa status to give her more prospects once her education is over; so personally I wont be hasty to judge the mum until i have the full facts
If u need proof i can give u her phone number and u talk to her urself or i give u her address and go see her mom ! |

@ heevy,
If you love this girl, Marry her Immediately and stop this slavery. She is an adult in UK still with the Nigerian mentality. U really need to educate her on her right.
Marry HER, and end her misery. I really pity her.
Both of you can make it - together at one. that is like N2.2m/annul. Most family fair well better at below that. What the hell is the school fees of this so-called "IRRESPONSIBLE" brothers of hers and her SO-CALLED MUDA FCCKER. for 2yrs Now, CHEZZ.
Marry her or direct her to the Police.
meanwhile, she can change the account and be paid the 1st rent on the new account b4 the mother gets a glimps and she gets out of the house immediate and take a STAND. She can have pity on the rest of the family crew and send a fraction to them not more than 20% of what she gets.
Begin
I love her but i am still a student aswell,i need to finish my education before i think of marriage,thanks for your advice though, ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png) ayettymama:
story is bs because nobody can live on £10 a month-- does she walk to the train station everymorning??
does she go there unclothed??
i do no something similar can happen but this in particular is bs-- its common for people to bring younger people from home and use them, they give them visa and papers and colect thier salary at the end--in a situation whereby the person has alot of fear or out of respect or maybe trying not to be ingrateful-- the person should just make an arrangement i.e
if the mom is trying to use her because she looked after her when she was young (like a mother is supposed to) let her calculate how much the school fees and ticket price and wot not were and let her pay the mom back in instalments, herself! when she pays them off she wouldnt be indebted to her----its a shame that some people are like this but its tru--- something else u learn abt life
Very true is impossible to live under £10,well she gets feed at home and her mom gives her transport fare to school,the only thing she wants is the way her mom takes over her salary. |

@Poster , I'd suggest you contact me via my email and lets talk. I can settle this issue once and for all.
HOW? I'll walk up straight to the Mum and tell her her wrongs. I'll suggest she desist from making her daughter a money making machine, else I'll inform the authority. By doing this, I assure you, she'd never request her daughter's salary again.
However, Her daughter must also take some responsibility in paying bills and helping out with other family needs.
And as regards to her study, she must be in school. She was given that visa for studying purposes and not for full time job (you can't earn 900 pounds by working part-time on a student visa)
And the Mum should stop using her daughter on the basis of wanting to secure a permanent status for her daughter, thereby making her to work like a slave.
@Poster, you know that your girl must be studying at a given college before she could be granted a dependant visa abi?
Contact me ASAP before this turns to several of the cases i've handled.
I just rang her phone now for permission and she insist i shouldnt cos she is too scared of her mom and doesnt wants to put her mom into any trouble,she said her mom has apologise and has promise to stop this as soon as the house is complete meanwhile she has promise to give her £60 from her salary,i am still not yet satisfied about this,she is coming to my place today,i will convince her more and i will show her this thread to read people's view and oppinion, Thanks |

I don't believe the story especially when the poster said "at this winter time". This is surely no winter time in UK. Working full time and earning 900 quids with a student visa? And the slapping bit and every detail of the conversation, no, this story is not real. I am not saying that such things can not happen but I strongly believe that this particular story is not true so no need to crack my head for solutions to an imaginary story.
You said the story ain't true ?, I am too busy to come online and make up a story, It is very true take it or live it,yes it is not winter time but the weather is still very cold in the morning riffytout:
Somebody call chico ejiro, this story is got nollywood written all over it. Mr poster, either story this is made up or your girly is fibby. Working 15hrs with a student visa in the uk! Impossicant! Shes 21, a legal immigrant, and it never occured to her to contact social services?
Its very annoying when some people think i fake this story !!! ![lipsrsealed](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/lipsrsealed.png) |

OMO IBO:
I believe this guys story but I think there’s something fishy.
I think the girls’ immigration status is questionable. This is prolly the reason she is unable to open a bank account in her name. This may also be the reason the wage goes to her mum’s account who in turn only gives her £10.
5am – 2pm then 5pm – 10pm……….This shift pattern is no joke. If she is indeed a studying student (which I do not believe) how much time does she devote to her studies?
If she’s been here for 2years and working for about same time then her visa should be up for renewal.
Here’s my thought: The girl’s hands are tied. She has no choice but to stay with mum and live by her rules. This rules out any chance of renting a room or having a life of her own.
Calling the cops is out of the question if everything above is true. I feel really bad for this girl. I hope everything works out for her.
No she has no issues with Immigration status she is on a 4yrs student visa and her mom is a british citizen (Red Passport) and she is going to renew with dependant,Infact her documents is already are the British home office for renewal. Also she is a very serious student she never miss her lectures if not i wont be bothered. Its not about opening a new bank account infact she is using her personal bank account for her salary but her mom is with her Bank Card,as soon as she gets paid her mom withdraw her money from the ATM Machine |

I dont want to believe this story.
She pays you £10 per month and you are begging her to add another £5 per month. What is the flipping difference?
I didnt believe in her the first place aswell but i later reason as she as never ask me for £1 before. princekevo:
@ poster We would like know how you got the details of thier conversation word by word. Were you your there when this conversation between mother and daughter was going on, or you made this out of what your girlfreind told you. Am asking this to accertain the fact that your girl is telling you the truth abt the woman being her real mother, or someone one who helped her to crossover on an agreement that she would payback certain amount. A lot of this evil is goign on every where in the world now, where some ladies bring young men and women, force them into labour for some years b4 they can be free to save for themselves.
Is very difficult for a woman to use and treat her biological daughter in such manner.
She was actually complaining to me and i convince her to go talk to her mom,she was scared to but i encouraged her,we were actually talking about it on phone and i ask her no to hang up cos we were on a free weekend calls (Same Network) and i heard every conversation, But the lattest news was that her mom called her this morning and apologise about everything she has been doing to her and begged her to endure until she finish her house in Lagos (95% complete) and everything will be fine and pending the time,she will start giving her £60 out of her salary and once the house is complete she will never ask her for her money anymore ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) |

I might be the only one that believes this story cos a lot can happen in that London if you don't know your rights.
Those saying she should rent a place where is she going to find first months rent and deposit with the £10 she is receiving - come on get real, the moment she changes where the money is going she may come home from that work on night and find her belongings on the street. From the things the mum is saying its obvious the mum only brought her over to work. How can a mother start saying these things - did the daughter ask to be born - when your there sleeping with the father and getting pregnant u don't know u now have a responsibility
some parents are mean sha, if u don't want to do things for your child as a parent close your legs and have no kids, as for pouring out her bitterness about the girls father to her face WTF has the father having a white woman in Germany have to do with only giving your daughter £10
anyway i am tired let me stop now and go to bed.
Her mom is just so wicked and heartless, wish i could do something to stop her ![angry](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/angry.png) |
