The Drug Lord in these photos, the guy with the cross, is responsible for at least two women from China being in prison in Hong Kong for drug trafficking. Photos and story here (July 13):

Also in the news - Nigerian scammer(s):

I hope the Nigerian government will send investigators to Hong Kong to take action against such people who are continuing with impunity to give Nigeria a bad name.

Fr John (a prison chaplain in HK)

Is the Nigerian Government doing anything to stop people like Precious and Urbain giving Nigeria a bad name?

The two men's stories are here:

Don't read this if you are a drug lord. Will stop you from sleeping:

Almost all the stories I hear of women being tricked to take drugs to Hong Kong involve Nigerians: in Thailand, Philippines, Mainland China, South America, Indonesia, Malaysia and various parts of Africa.

The Thai woman's story is here:

And here are two other stories - of Nigerians in the Philippines tricking Filipinas to take drugs to Hong Kong:

I hope these stories might encourage Nigerian authorities to do more to stop Nigerians from damaging families and lives around the world ....and stop them from giving their dear country a very, very bad name.

I hope these letters, like previous letters and articles, can help stop people from Nigeria from taking drugs to Hong Kong.
Security at Hong Kong airport, unlike Dubai airport, is tightest when Customs and Immigration officers see that someone is from Nigeria.
Taking drugs to HK is a suicide mission. No death penalty (like China) but long, long sentences. Most drug mules get about 10 or 11 years (after "cut".

Correction: not 13, but 18 people, mostly Africans. A new one or two almost every week

There are now 13 people, including 3 Kenyans, two South Africans and one from Benin, Tanzania and Uganda, in prison in Hong Kong,  after being tricked/coerced by a Nigerian Drug Gang at Dubai airport this year to carry cocaine to HK. All from Kenya, South Africa , Tanzania and Uganda are women.

 9 of the 13 were tricked into carrying items by Nigerians using words like "I bought too much at duty free ...can you help me carry something" or "I bought too many chocolates ...would you like to buy some" ...the 9 put the items in their carry-on luggage.....no idea they were carrying drugs ....but now they are facing long, long sentences in prison in HK

 4 of the 13 had the drugs in their bodies, after being tricked/coerced to go to Dubai to "collect and deliver items".

 The gang has recruiting agents in Africa and many other parts of the world. Agent in Dar Es Salaam uses the name "Jerry" ....aged about 40...operates in Morogoro...has sent many people to Dubai. Agents in Niarobi are women using the names "Phoebe" ...and "Nancy". Agent in Malaysia is Rajes....sends people to Dubai each week. Agent in China is Sharon

 The gang's main airport man is a guy of medium height, wears a black cap, gets people to meet him at Gate C-17 of Dubai airport ....or meet him in an airport hotel room. He uses the names "Emmanuel" or "Manuel" or "Franklin". He surely must feature on airport CCTV if the authorities would only take this issue seriously. He is sometimes assisted by a Filipina named "Jennifer".

 Let's spread the word to warn people about this gang! For some time I've been trying to get authorities in Dubai and HK to take action ....but so far no success. There is obviously corruption at Dubai airport ...how can people be walking around the departure lounge with many kg of cocaine?

 On my website www.v2catholic.com I'll try to put updates about this gang.

If anyone has any more info about this gang, please email me: jdwomi@gmail.com

Fr John (a prison chaplain in HK ...very sad each time I see another African incarcerated)

Today in a Hong Kong prison I was very sad to meet yet another Nigerian drug mule. He was arrested at HK airport on May 13. He had been in financial difficulties ....borrowed money from dangerous money lenders who introduced him to drug trafficking ...they told him "it's easy to get drugs into Hong Kong".
Rubbish! HK has the most sophisticated detection equipment in the world ....and its customs officers are among the best-trained and most skillful in the world. Taking drugs to HK is a suicide mission, not "an easy trip".

The poor man is facing around 8 years in prison (after cut). His very young children will not remember him when they next see him. His family will now be in even worse difficulties than before.

Drug mules from East Africa have virtually stopped coming to HK ....they know it's a suicide mission. But mules from Nigeria and South Africa are still arriving. Please help spread the message: TAKING DRUGS TO HK IS A SUICIDE MISSION

For information about the prison the man is in until he goes to court for sentencing in about 6 months time, Google "Lai Chi Kok reception centre Hong Kong"

A Nigerian Drug syndicate in Hong Kong includes "informers" who avoid arrest in HK by giving the authorities information about drug mules ....which is why some poor mules who come to HK are arrested by the Narcotics Bureau, not Customs ....NB has been tipped off ....and the only people who could have done this are the people who arranged the mules' trips ....which means taking drugs to HK is Mission Impossible.....NB know your name, flight, what seat you are in the plane...you haven't got a hope. Please spread the word. I'm very sad going to court with Nigerian mules who have been set up by Nigerian Drug Lords

"Happy", who is responsible for many people going to prison in Hong Kong, was arrested recently in Macau:

http://macaudailytimes.com.mo/three-arrested-macaus-3rd-greatest-drug-bust.html

Yesterday I visited about a dozen drug mules arrested recently at Hong Kong airport, coming from South America, Africa and Asia.
All but one were sent by Nigerian men in South America, Africa and Asia. Shame, Nigeria - shame, shame, shame.

Please, Nigerian government - please assign some special police to track down and arrest the Nigerian drug lords who are destroying families around the world.

I hope letters like this will help stem the flow of Nigerians being incarcerated in HK for drug trafficking. Tanzanians have virtually stopped coming. Kenyans have stopped. But Nigerians keep coming. God, please help Nigerians know that bringing drugs to HK is a suicide mission.

This message was written by a Nigerian drug trafficker in a Hong Kong prison

Hong Kong's South China Morning Post of Nov 29 has a big story about Africans, especially Gambians, being arrested for drug trafficking/possession. I'd be grateful if someone would please send this article to a blog site in Gambia. I couldn't find one.

http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1883520/why-hong-kong-nightlife-hubs-african-drug-dealers-do-what

I am a prison chaplain in Hong Kong. Over the past few years I have been very sad to see so many Africans in prison in HK for drug trafficking.
My website has helped almost stop the flow of drug mules from Tanzania - see my file: http://v2catholic.com/background/Drugs/Tanzania/2013/2013-08-07tanzania-file-2013.htm

But Nigerian drug mules keep coming. They don't realize HK is a suicide mission - people from Africa are often searched and interrogated for two or more hours at HK airport. And drug mules get on average a 10 year sentence (that's after cut; with no "night and day" deal - in HK 10 years means 10 long years). Because getting into HK is so difficult, I've heard that the Nigerian Drug Mules are now increasing the salary of Nigerian drug mules. But they don't get paid till they deliver. And when they caught, they and their families get nothing.

I hope this message, and maybe future posts, can help stop people from drug trafficking to HK, China (death penalty!) and Macau.
God bless Nigeria!
