OFFICERS of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have foiled attempts by two grandmothers to unlawfully export narcotic drugs to New York, United States and Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The suspects allegedly ingested one hundred and eight (108) wraps of substances that tested positive for heroin and cocaine during outward screening of passengers at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos.

The grandmothers blamed their involvement in drug trafficking on financial hardship.

According to the NDLEA, the preliminary investigation revealed that this was the first time a grandmother of 60 years will ingest a whopping eighty-three wraps of narcotics.
In addition, the second suspect was going to Saudi Arabia where drug trafficking attracts capital punishment.

Her timely arrest at the Lagos airport by the Nigerian anti-narcotics officers have saved her from the ordeals of painful and ignoble death in a foreign country.

NDLEA commander at the Lagos airport, Ahmadu Garba gave the names of the suspected drug traffickers as Adebayo Ebunoluwa Mercy, 60, found to have ingested eighty-three wraps of heroin weighing 1.105kg on her way to the United States and Amodu Ayisat Grace, 59, that ingested twenty-five (25) wraps of cocaine weighing 275 grammes on her way to Saudi Arabia.

According to Ahmadu, “Adebayo Ebunoluwa Mercy was arrested while boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight to New York while Amodu Ayisat Grace was caught trying to board an Ethiopian airline flight on her way to Medina, Saudi Arabia. The cases are under investigation”.

Adebayo Ebunoluwa who sells provision at Ikorodu, Lagos but hails from Kogi State, said that drug trafficking was an afterthought saying: “I am a divorcee selling provisions for survival. Things became rough and tough for me when I lost my capital due to family problems. It has been my dream to travel to the United States in search of greener pastures. My involvement in drug trafficking was an afterthought. My intention when I got my visa last year was to go and work to take care of my needs without being a burden to anyone.

Everything changed suddenly when I met an old friend at a party. They took care of my travel expenses and gave me three thousand dollars with a promise to assist me secure a job in the United States. It was few hours to my journey that they brought the drugs for me to swallow. They said that it was my contribution for the kindness and money spent on my trip but it turned out to be my biggest mistake”.

Amodu Ayisat Grace, born in Lagos State, told investigators that as a Muslim she was glad to travel to Saudi Arabia but her journey terminated at the NDLEA office saying: “I was happy when they offered to sponsor my trip to Saudi Arabia but I never knew it will end in my detention. I sell fufu (staple food from cassava) to take care of my four children as a widow and this has been very challenging. They enticed me with a visit to Saudi Arabia and a handsome reward and I fell for the trick. I only swallowed 25 wraps of the drug. Unfortunately I could not get to Saudi Arabia because of my arrest”.

Reacting, the NDLEA Chairman/Chief Executive, Colonel Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah (retd) said it was shocking and shameful for grandmothers to be involved in drug trafficking.

“This move by drug cartels to recruit grandmothers as mules is very disturbing, shocking and shameful. The moral emptiness exhibited by the suspects must be condemned by all. A situation where grandmothers have become a bad influence on their children and grandchildren is highly regrettable” Abdallah declared.

Funny enough, it would be a shame to shout "Afonja" as some people would do. If its Igbo now, Omenkalives with his alternate monikers would be shouting Alabiabia and shukuokuko bambiala.

But what do I know? Just like yesterday when some people were showcasing different pictures from Yoruba land and Igbo land... Thinking they are insulting themselves..... Not knowing its their generation till eternity they are shaming. It may seem fun....

But honestly, is it not a thing of shame that people are putting legs in dirty, muddy water to go to their houses? Or still have to swallow cocaine to make ends meet? Or live in houses with brown roofs Pigs in Europe can't live in? Or sell human beings? Or butcher human beings for sacrifice? We would never realise what we are doing till its too late!

Lets continue showing the whole world that we are still a bunch of animals!
