The suspects were all arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) while departing and arriving Nigeria. Speaking on their arrest, the Lagos Airport NDLEA Commander, Mr Hamza Umar said Obi John Chukwuenyem (48) was arrested with 21.695 kilogrammes of methamphetamine found inside his bag; Gilbert Kelvin (37) with 9.980 kilogrammes of methamphetamine concealed inside solar security lamps; Deborah Ifeoma who is a mother of seven (40) with five kilogrammes of methamphetamine packed inside foodstuff while Okafor Michael (44) the music producer was with 4.95 kilogrammes of cocaine hidden inside silicon sealants.
When interrogated, some of the suspects said they were not aware the drugs were concealed in their goods. Obi John who lives in South Africa, said he ventured into the business so he could pay his children's school fees
“I struggle to feed my family by selling foodstuff. Now, the business is near-moribund. A friend met me on my birthday and introduced me into drug trafficking. He promised to pay me 15,000 South Africa rand. My children are out of school because of my inability to pay tuition fee. This is the first time I would deal in drugs and I regret everything. I pray to be out of this problem” he said.Gilbert, who claims to be into importation and exportation of phones and clothes, said he has five children from three women and has suffered major loses in his business
“My business is grounded and I now live from hand to mouth. My South African friend for over ten years gave me solar lamps where the drug was found. He used to assist me financially and he also promised to pay my children’s school fees.”Deborah who is a mother of seven said
“I take care of my seven children from selling foodstuffs. I came to Nigeria to buy foodstuffs like melon, vegetables and other local spices. I approached a man in South Africa for financial assistance to enable me expand my business. He called me that somebody would give me some food items for him. When I got to the airport, NDLEA officers detected methamphetamine in the package given to me by the man. This was how I found myself in this situation”.For the Asaba based musician who was coming into Nigeria from Brazil when he was apprehended, said he was not aware the hard substances were in a bag a friend gave him to deliver to someone in Nigeria
“I am a music producer. I traveled to Brazil to promote my music label and to partner other producers. I had a successful deal but on my way back, I accepted a bag from a friend I met in Sao Paulo to take to Nigeria. When I got here, NDLEA demanded to search and 29 out of the 34 sealants were found to contain cocaine. This is a major setback for my career and I feel very bad.”Photo credit: Vanguard

Top who does only tops....@okafor
People are supposed to have learnt that collecting any item from someone is very risky. They should refer them to courier services that if their story is true.
Since I have been reading and hearing about drug stuff no one has ever accepted that they know about the drug or the we say it because they can pay bill or challenges that lead them into it...please can't they say No? Or are their the only one with issues we all know the implications about drug trafficking...music producer travel to brazil to promote his music as Don jazz or who abeg
My eastern people wont never stop
story for d gods
Men that's serious money oo.... Any ♓☺ÏŽ sha its illegal and he is busted

N374,625million???? aunty, u no dey edit ur post
This is terrible,but they should stop with all the lies of not knowing the substance was with them.
About collecting package from someone to help deliver to another without properly checking the content is very risky.
They should all face the law but the music producer should be investigated further.
Story for d gods,ur frnd gave u to deliver to someone!!!
Story 4 the gods
lies lies...jail is smelling all around u guys now....
Na woah! I have learnt that accepting parcels from unknown persons may be wrong cos you don't know what is inside.

NDLEA must start destroying these drugs in public. We know that the drugs siezed are almost always sold by the NDLEA to drug cartels who then traffic the drugs undisturbed and even worse distribute them within the country.
Now that Bode George is the drug Czar via his wife, we will be seeing higher cases of drug use in Nigeria.
Nigerians have very very little education on drugs. How many people know what meth is and what it does? Or that ecstacy (molly) is an innocent looking pill?
NDLEA are not doing much by way of determent and this is how Bode George is now making his money. From Pension thief to Drug dealer. All under GEJ.
God please help Nigeria.
>>>>> Naija and crimes, its becoming embarrassing<<<<< corcake@yahoo.com
Story for the gods. Most entertainment peeps are into drug trafficking, so I am not surprised at this one, God will expose them one by one. They keep living flamboyant life style that we know music or acting alone can't settle those bills.
Bad market for this xmas oo.
Drug peddling is a crime against humanity. Pple are brain dead coz of it. Its a wicked business
Hmmm.... wonders, shall never cease....
Abeg free them they are hustlling for their daily bread.........Most of our politicians and entertainers are into it so its not a big deal

Africa is the next big market for drugs - unfortunately for we still lack even the basic interventions such as drug rehab centers. This book on Africa says it all about where Africa is headed
