Man ingests 88 wraps of cocaine

 
Handel Omekanneji was recently arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for ingesting 88 wraps of cocaine.

The discovery was made by officials of the National Dug Law Enforcement Agency during the inward screening of passengers on an Iberia Airline flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, confirmed the arrest. He said, “Omekanneji tested positive for drug ingestion during the inward screening of passengers. He excreted a total of 88 wraps of substance found to be cocaine, which weighed 1.550kg. The case is under investigation and he will soon be charged to court.”

Omekanneji told CRIME DIGEST that he travelled to Brazil in 1997 in search of job opportunities. He said, “When I got to Brazil in 1997, I could not get a job so I began selling clothes to survive. Although I was doing fine in business, the profit was insufficient because I am the bread winner of my family and extended family. I am not proud of what I have done but was pushed by my situation.”

The Chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, urged members of the public to partner with the agency in the campaign against drug trafficking and abuse. “We need team work to advance the fight against drug trafficking and abuse. Nigerians must consider the consequences of drug trafficking because it will ultimately lead to shame and regret,” Giade said.

NYC-1 says: People will always find excuses why they do the things they do; but, one should not forget that what is wrong is wrong and what is right is right. There are many good people out there who are frustrated and hopeless because the country has failed them. I hope Nigerian politicians will start living lifes like devoted Christians and Muslims. As we live, so shall we die. I am not preaching to anyone.

Absolute bullshit! They advertise the face of a man who ingests hard drugs but shields the face of the devils that took a life. I say bullshit!!! If corruption needs to be eradicated, they should start with the corrupt leaders.

This is sooo sad, he's not the first and won't be the last but anyone doing this has to be very desperate. No matter where you live in the world life can get very hard and no matter how many people you see becoming rich from starting on the streets of Lagos or anywhere tough in the world there are many who won't come close.

I agree with the person who talks about punishing politicians because they make sure there is always a huge gap between poor and rich in Nigeria. If you've never been in a situation that seriously makes you consider something as insane as this then you are very lucky and hope you never have to. It's tough out here and people just want to survive when the odds are against them.

If this man had 2m naira on the spot wen he was arrested this shit wouldn't b on here. Our leaders do worst shits than this. Abeg they should free the old man and look for big criminals that wish Nigeria as whole bad and free all this petty criminals abeg

Obviously d story would have been different if he had succeeded!He would have been describe as a. Very suceesful business man frm Brazil! On the other hand he could have just been an ordinary courier,who got convinced to do this trip for a fee. Either way,how come we don't see the arrest of the main drug kingpins?These ones r d small fries.
