NL's, pls carefully read this

A couple who attempted to traffic cocaine out of the country using their six-year old twins, have been apprehended.

Announcing the arrest of the duo - Jimoh Bashir and Jimoh Milikat - at the weekend, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) disclosed that the couple will be charged for child abuse and drug trafficking, as it described the act by the parents as a complete show of contempt on the rights of their children.

Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesperson for the agency, disclosed that Mr. Bashir allegedly connived with his wife to conceal 350g of cocaine each on the diaper of their twins on their way to London.

“Both parents and their kids were apprehended as they were about boarding an Arik Air flight to London, and the wife concealed 3.35kg on her body with some on her bra and some in her underwear,” he said.

“The innocent six-year old twins were also used in packing 700g of illicit drugs, which brought the total quantity of cocaine to 4.05kg.”

Condemning the act by the couple in a statement, the chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said that it is unlawful for the parents to take advantage of their innocent children’s to involve them in a serious criminal act of drug trafficking.

“The action of the couple is callous, morally depraved, and unacceptable,” he said. “Apart from charging them on the grounds of drug trafficking, they will also be charged for child abuse, for no society will overlook such act of debasement.”

The Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) commander of the agency, Hamza Umar, revealed that investigations into the case is currently at an advanced stage and that other accomplices shall be made to face the wrath of the law.

Mr. Umar disclosed that the couple, who runs a superstore in one of the highbrow areas in Lagos, Ajah, got involved in drug peddling after being duped the sum of N2.2 million.

According to the agency’s airport commander, times became tough for the duo as they had to smuggle drugs to pay school fees for their kids.

The father of the family, Mr. Bashir, in his statement disclosed that they were to be paid 3,000 pounds by their contractors, adding that he was swayed by his wife to commit the crime.

“Initially I rejected the suggestion, but they convinced my wife who persuaded me to do it,” he said.

Meanwhile, the agency disclosed that the children have been freed.

“The children have been released to their family members but for the couple they will be charged to court,”

This is an end time

someone who cant stick to his NO.
someone who was persuaded and accepted
someone who is probably seeking "mercy"/making excuses under the pretense that the wife is the culprit and he, the mugu
not this "that means the wife is a bully in the house" or this, persuading someone =being the bully in the house
