6000 Nigerians In Foreign Jails Over Drug Offences


BY OKEY NDIRIBE & EMMAN OVUAKPORIE

Director-General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Mr Femi Ajayi, weekend, said over 6,000 Nigerians were serving various jail terms across the globe for drug related offences.

Ajayi told the Abike Dabiri-Erewa-led House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora Matters in Abuja that Nigeria had more of its nationals in prisons outside the country than any other African country.

Ajayi who listed some of the countries as Iran 4,000, Brazil 500, Thailand 500, Malaysia 300, said the list was more than that “but that was what we have for now.”

He said the bulk of those caught for drug related offences outside the country were from the South-East with majority coming from Anambra State.

“I don’t know what we can do about the large number of our brothers from the South-East who indulge in this illicit business. Can you believe that of the 500 Nigerians in Thailand prisons, 480 of them are from the South-East and 450 from it are from Anambra State?”

Ajayi further said the agency had been facing many challenges hindering the optimal performance of its duties as an enforcement agency on drug related matters.

Na Yoruba get sense pass. Yorubas always remember the sons of whom they are. Yorubas are not AFTER sharp sharp money but always look and hope for a better tomorrow. Yorubas can endure till things get better. Yorubas always protect their names come any where. Once Yorubas can get breakfast,launch (if possible), and dinner they give glory to God. UP ODUA

Oke ochicho!!!

Shup-up you asshole...I'm not Igbo but atleast I know you Yorubas aint better...

Another Ibo ediot hiding under the user name "PortharcourtBoy"? Poor low lifer. You should be thinking of how to recover back the bodies of your brothers after feeding them to the gas chamber.

Out of 500 nigerians in thailand, 480 are Ibos .

I dont think dats a nice response,and its response like yours that spring up tribal wars on nairaland,am a proud yoruba,but when the truth has to be said,i wont desist from saying it,stop glorifying Yoruba people that we are saints and do not commit crimes,we are equally guilty of other crimes too,even drug related crimes,is Baba Suwe not a Yoruba man,or the common Yahoo Yahoo business,that flourishes among our youths,is not Yoruba boys that reside lagos that are at the forefront of such,so my dear,stop glorifying what is not,that fact that most of those caught are Igbos from Anambra does not justify in any way that Yorubas themselves are saints

only God can save this country

6000 nigerians in prison abroad r de all guilty:-(, our own npf wil arrest u 4 walking late hour charge u to court 4 steeling or assault on officer. Ndlea wil arrest u 4 smoking marijua & end up in jail as a drug baron. We talking of another mans land & their Drug law

they sell drugs to Al quaeda network to enable them carry out their suicide bombings without sentiments or fear of favour.

Na so abeg eno dey easy. Kedu udi ihe bu ihea, must u carry ogwu when u can't handle it. Ogwu biz needs patients 4 u 2 succeed biko umu Anambra unu akparizina anyi nwe ndidi ka ndi ma ihe ana alu kuziere gi uzo, ahia meth siri ike may God help us Amen

because they no dey do am Baba Suwe style.

That number is too low. There should be approximately 600,000 Nigerians in jail in foreign countries for drug related cases.

I think the number is more.
