In 1997, I came to Lagos and started textile
business.
Later I began to buy my goods from Czech Republic
and Hong Kong before my business suffered
serious setback. In the process of looking for
assistance, I was introduced into drug trafficking.
I was given the drug in a restaurant at Onitsha and
they promised to pay me 10,000 dollars. It took me

at the airport,” Obiekwe said. He hails from

Technology (IMT) Enugu.
I used to import textiles from Dubai and Hong
Kong. My business was flourishing and I have
travelled to Hong Kong over 15 times. I later had
problem that took my capital and I was stranded.
That was what led me into drug trafficking. I was
forced to swallow drugs for many hours in order to
continue with my textile business. They promised to
pay me over a million naira,” Okoye stated.
He hails from Anambra State. Chukwunyere Prince
Emmanuel said that he smuggled drugs to settle his
bills. In his words, “I am a business man. I supply
teaching materials.
Armed robbers attacked me and I lost one of my
eyes in the process. As I speak, I owe over 15
million naira. am unable to pay my rent, my
children’s school fees and even feeding. I have no
rest of mind because my creditors are on my neck
daily. This is my first time of trafficking drugs and I
was promised 4,000 euros.”
