The cargo, which was shipped from India through Qatar Airways with airwaybill number MAWB 319-01227236 was purported to be a transit cargo to Monrovia, Liberia.

While the Dimethyl Sulfone was concealed in the hollow of a motor driving shaft going to New Zealand, the consignment of Cocaine and phenacetin was packed into a bottle of body cream heading to Saudi Arabia.

In Imo state, operatives on Sunday 15th October intercepted a Mercedes Benz container truck marked ABN 418 YN parked in an isolated area along Owerri - Onitsha expressway. A search of the abandoned truck led to the recovery of 168 bags of skunk weighing 1, 854 kilograms.

.

I have stopped confirming names in any report on drugs. The usual customers have proven over and over that it is a curse and no mortal can stop them.

Odinma, lemme come and be going. Argue with your useless keyboard.

Lot of people opened this post just to see the name of the person to be sure their thoughts were correct.

nn

😄the only case that can never be put to an end,more especially in Nigeria.

H

Check the name of that Spain bound guy well and you will realize that he is that region where they are know for such business.

In whatever you do, ensure say na legit cos all these illegal runs na just 2 steps forward 4 steps back.

Most of these people get death wish.

If u carry drugs, chance of u making it through the Nigerian airport is 20%, While chance of u making it out of an European country airport is 0% especially with a Nigerian passport.

Yet these people go keep face like goat, still carry the thing.

They will catch them, they will still carry it again and they will still catch them.

It's asif they are asking for it

The money dey sweet, but na blood money. This illicit drug of a thing has a ripple effect on the society. This is how it works.
You get the consignment as small as it may be. You sell that small and make sooooo much money. Now you're going for bigger consignments -greed.

You had sold it to racketeers who will sell it to the driver that will convey your mom from where she is to the village to supervise your building in the village after you sent her money some days ago. This driver drove recklessly and ends your mom's life and others that are in the bus.

Some other guys in the jungle had bought this drugs, ingested it and believe it was the right time to rob a house. The got to the house and changed their minds as kidnapping should fetch more money. The took your uncle whom you just bought a car for to the bush, killed him 2days later because you only sent #5 million of the #10 million the requested for.

Your sister's boyfriend had mingled with some group of guys who after injecting some substance gave him to try some so as to go fly. Gets back home sleeps with your sister and infects her wit HIV/AIDS.


The list continues. Trust me even if you're not affected now, you will be affected later. Not all deaths are natural. 98% of deaths worldwide is caused by the people. Let's stop drugs. There are plenty other legit stuffs to do to make money, drugs is not one of them

Sherif.....Yoro mooslims..

Taking over business as usual

Sherif is not a Yoruba name, only an Islamic name. But you know Egbo is an Igbo name right?
Oga carry your fellow developer. E don cast...

No more "Mkpuru Miri" business for lazy chest beaters 😂😂😂

Odiodi!!! OK sorry odeshi E no enter!!! Last last e don enter.

Just according to a resound Nigeria musician which one of his lyrics says:

Last last e don cast!!! Na everybody go chop breakfast?!! Shayo!!!

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have arrested a 40-year-old Madrid, Spain-based ‘businessman’, Sherif Egbo Ally at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, NAIA, Abuja while attempting to board an Air France flight to Paris, France, after they discovered he ingested illicit drugs.

Maruwa will sniff the life outta drug traffickers/barons, with no space left for them to breath

Elubo ambassadors at it again.

Electronics for frontend, cocaine for backend

Watch as they will start blaming the government again

Na dem go criticize others ontop regular crime every of their household dey always commit.

Dem don give Nigeria bad name finish ontop desperation for quick wealth

Some of their people don dey shame sef now and that's why on threads like this they always add the pics of those caught with cannabis to cover their kinsmen shame a bit

Damn!


The morafvcker will blame the government.

People keep tarnishing the image of the country in so many ways, and same people will still be blaming the government.

Fraud and drug trafficking is now like a tag on the forehead of every Nigerian.


Even with your red and blue passport, when immigration see your birth place as Nigeria, they adjust quickly.

Just a matter of time, your citizenship won’t even matter again when your birthplace is Nigeria.

Name checkers association gather round let us devour this food

These people will never stop... With every arrest, more are jumping in to take up the mantle.

Kudos to NDLEA... They should keep up the good work.

Nigeria can't be allowed to become another Columbia.

The FG should start killing them like they do in the Asian countries.

Nothing like tribalism here.

If you can't make your money through legal means, then you should be ready to spend it in hell
