Four drug traffickers at death's door

These men and a woman have one thing in common: they are all waiting at death's gate.

Pity them not, however. They asked for it. Each of them allegedly has a minimum of 60 wraps of illicit drugs in their stomach and if they don't excrete the poisonous substances in a few days, death may knock on their doors.

The spokesperson of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency, Mitchell Ofoyeju, says that the four drug traffickers are currently undergoing observation to excrete the drugs they swallowed.

He says, "We arrested Ekundayo Alekusho, Latifu Mustapha, Chukwudi Onyeze and Innocent Ndigwe, a few days ago and it's important they excrete everything in their system. The longer the drugs stay in their bodies, the more suicidal it becomes."

At 63, Mustapha may have been blessed with long life but with 100 wraps in his stomach, he may have shortened his life intentionally.

Mustapha is the oldest drug trafficker arrested this year at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

Despite being a textile and jewellery merchant at the Balogun Market, Lagos, he says poverty pushed him into drug trafficking.

The father of nine, who hails from Osun State, was given the sum of €2,000 and was to receive another €2,000 on the successful delivery of the drugs.

The widower, who lost his wife 14 years ago, says, "My wife died in a very painful circumstance. Since then my business collapsed and life has not been the same. It is poverty that made me to smuggle drugs.

"When I was confronted with the option of drug trafficking I felt I should try my luck. My nine children are my main concern. I do not want to be seen as a bad father because my intention is to provide for them. I hope they will find a place in their heart to forgive me."

Alekusho, who has 80 wraps of drugs in her stomach, is also not a young person. The 56-year-old trader, who sells children clothes and jewellery at Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo State, was arrested on the same flight with Mustapha.

Her journey to Paris on an Iberia flight was terminated when a scanning machine detected that she swallowed the illicit substances.

Upon further search, she was also found to have inserted another wrap weighing 200g in her private parts.

The divorcee with three children claims one of her customers lured her into ingesting the substances.

Alekusho, who hails from Abeokuta, Ogun State, says, "My eldest child is 30 years. One of my female customers introduced me to drug trafficking. It started when my shop got burnt and I lost everything. We used to talk on the phone before she invited me to Lagos.

"On several occasions we meet at an eatery. I initially refused to do it at first but she persuaded me that since I have been travelling, there will be no problem. They bought a return ticket and gave me €1,900 initial payment. My world is over."

Unlike the first two suspects that were going to France, Onyeze was apprehended while attempting to board an Air France flight to Paris but his final destination was Finland.

He had lived in Finland for nine years and used to import office equipment into the country for sale. According to Onyeze, 47, who is from Imo State, he suffered a big loss in 2008 and has not recovered from the financial crunch.

He says that he ingested drugs based on the influence from his friend in Europe, "My phone number was given to somebody in Nigeria. Since I arrived from Finland last month we have been talking until I was finally given the drugs. I swallowed 60 pieces for €2,500. I am married with a child."

Sleeping on a time bomb

^^^^^^ so true, you know whats going to happen to this thread very soon.

*KNOWS THIS IS OLD.

I am not one to support drug use of any kind and therefore not fond of those who distribute them, weed is not a drug so it doesnt count , however, due to their circumstances I do feel sympathetic to their troubles. Times are hard but there are other means to get by.

Yoruba, thou accursed

am watching channels news right now and reports say that The religious riot which started in Maiduguri, Borno State claiming the lives of many people and large-scale destruction of property over an alleged offensive publication on Prophet Mohammed on Tuesday extended to Onitsha, [size=13pt]Anambra State [IGBO LAND] 15 muslims have been killed in anambra and two mosques burnt with houses and properties vandalised.[/size] It was the prompt intervention of the anti-riot mobile policemen that was deployed to the scene through the help of their teargas canisters that scared the rioters away and the major markets in the city closed down. It was gathered that the GUO commercial luxury bus that returned to Onitsha from North brought the corpse of Igbos that were casualties of the Borno State incident. This prompted the spontaneous reprisal attack by Igbo youths. In the process two mosques including the Bridgehead mosque and the Central Mosque, Bida street were burnt down, the Northern goat dealers market was also razed and the street kiosks controlled by the Hausa boys were vandalised with large scale looting of goods and they have given the muslims 24hours to leave anambra state or face death the muslims think they are the only one who can fight thou this troblues me and it can cause more troblue in other states and will really start a tribal war if care is not taken and we called these muslims animals are these igbo guys any differnt killing other muslims who had nothing to do with the deaths of the igbo people that where killed

Many says that Biafra would have been full of kidnappers, rapists, drug peddlers, okija-shrine worshippers, and many more. Could this be true? Did the Yorubas actually saved Igboland from the "foreseen"?



Igboland. . . .land of despoiler. Unfortunately, their despoiler now goes to the SW to kidnap and r ape innocent children.
We all know how Igbos are ashamed to be Igbos, some using Yoruba names [like babalola and akin-egba] to kidnap and ra pe. Cry Cry
