Cocaine Found On Sunny Ade's Guitarist of 30 Years At Murtala Muhammad Airport by Nobody: 1:04am On Jan 06, 2013 |
Fatoke Abiodun, Nigeria’s veteran guitarist, who played alongside legendary musician, King Sunny Ade for three decades, has been arrested with cocaine, the anti-drug agency said on Saturday. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said that Abiodun was arrested on 1 January while attempting to board an Air France flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria. “We have made the first arrest in the new year. The suspect, a guitarist by name Fatoke Abiodun was found with 1.575kg of cocaine. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the outward screening of passengers to Italy,” said ,NDLEA Commander the Lagos Airport, Mr Hamza Umar The agency said the 62-year old grandfather with four wives and many children, is helping narcotic investigators handling the case. “Fatoke has owned up to the alleged crime blaming his involvement on financial hardship,” said the agency’s spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju. NDLEA quoted Fatoke as saying: “I played for King Sunny Ade for 30 years before I was unceremoniously retired in 2007. I was unprepared and without severance money I saw the bitter side of life.” He said his drug trafficking attempt is his first as he did it out of frustration. “Because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am ashamed of myself,” he was quoted as saying. NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade described the involvement of Fatoke in drug trafficking as sad and disappointing. “It is sad and disappointing for a grandfather to be involved in drug trafficking. This is a bad legacy to his children. This is a good start for the agency in the year and a sign that the days ahead will be tough for drug traffickers. The agency will continue to handle every case in accordance with the NDLEA Act,” Giade was quoted as saying. The suspect will be charged to court for unlawful exportation and possession of narcotics, NDLEA said. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/01/05/sunny-ades-ex-guitarist-fatoke-caught-with-cocaine/ 3 Likes

That's sad what people are reduced to because of poverty. I wonder how much he was paid during his time, was it all gone when he was fired in 2007? Celebrities seem to believe that money will always flow and never prepare for the unknown. 4 Likes |

A part of me feels sorry for him somehow The sort of frustration that will lead a 62 year old grandfather to traffic drugs then another part of me says Even if Sunny Ade retired him without a severance package,why couldn't he use his guitar skills to continue to earn a living Didn't he make any investments for all the 30 years of playing with King Sunny? 18 Likes |

babyosisi: A part of me feels sorry for him somehow King Sunny Ade should be the happiest man right now,imagine going on a world tour with this man and such happens.. He king Ade would,ve been arrested as well and the very good image he had built over the years would,ve been tanished forever just like that. I dont believe this is the first time he is doing something like this.he must wasted his earning in owambe. 30 years of playing with a maestro like Ade without any savings isnt an excuse to deal drug. He should,ve used his skills to make a living or go to Ade for assistance. |

Silly ol' man. Spent 30 years earning well as a celeb guitarist. Spent his earnings on women, culminating into 4 wives and many children, whom I'm sure he never took care of. Now he wants us to have pity on him as if his problems we caused by the Government or economic hardship in the country. His he trying to tell is that he was going to serve KSA even of he waa very old and senile? How do peeps reason self? Those blaming GEJ, BRF and the Government for anything and everything should know that, their destiny lie in their hands. Even in the so-called advanced countries and best economies, things are not as easy as imagined. 5 Likes |
