I'm sure you all remember the Arik Air hostess that was caught trying to smuggle a quarter of a million pounds worth of cocaine into the UK in Dec 2011? (If you missed it, read it HERE). Well, she was yesterday February 2nd sentenced to five and a half years in prison.
Chinwendu Uwakaonyenma Ogbonnaya, 29, (pictured above) had flown into London’s Heathrow airport as a member of crew on an Arik Air flight from Lagos on 18 December 2011. UK immigration officers discovered packages of cocaine, worth 250k pounds, hidden inside her bag. Ogbonnaya claimed that she had been given the bag by a friend and that she was unaware it contained drugs. But she later pleaded guilty to attempting to import the drug.
A friend gave her the bag and she was unaware it contained drugs? Do you believe that story?
May or may not be true
ReplyDeleteMehn, d judgment was so fast...hmm, I hope we borrow a leaf from ds...c'mon Linda, we don't need to belive wat she said..wat she needed was to prove dt d bag was not hers beyond reasonable doubt...law is not sentimental.
ReplyDeleteBig fat lie..we all travel ha beg..before you even hand your bags in Custom would ask if you packed the bags yourself..someone in her capacity!!...she wan drive new Range come oppress for Lekki..well deserved..
ReplyDelete5 1/2 years, Thats it???????? She should be jumping for joy!! People are getting 20 years for sh*t like that in the states and in Asia they are being put to sleep (permanent sleep).
ReplyDeleteyes linda.its possible. it can be hidden and you won't know. that's why they say check well before you carry something for someone or if they give you a bag cos u never know the hidden parts of the bag. she probably pled guilty based on advice to get a lighter sentence. That said sha, it's verrryyyyyyyy possible she did it
ReplyDeleteThat girl no try at all
ReplyDeleteWasted career. Power of greed
ReplyDeleteGet rich or die trying. But on a serious note, the risk she took is not worth it. Just for 250k pounds. I thought an Air Hostess earns good salary.
ReplyDeleteKcee u r kidding me right?250k pounds is over 60million naira o!!!!if she had carried it suCcessfully na range plus svral years in rent and bang and olufsen products all the way not to mention authentic prada bags and xtian loubs yafun yafun.

ReplyDelete@Mama Somtee. Gbenga is dead. A friend of his named Ayo posted this info on this blog sometimes in January this year, 1st week to be precise.
ReplyDeleteYa'all Igbo are free from his rantings. Unless someone assumes his name & continue the rants.
For now, IGBO KWENU!!!!

ReplyDeletebootylucious diva
@ Anonymous Feb 4 12:09 pm, How can you say Ibo people again? Unless you are joking, I wonder what make you say that.
ReplyDeleteDo you want to know the name of Yorubas in UK prison?
I am yoruba by the way.
Back to the question, It can happen but I'll say years back (even years back). According to Anonymous 12:49am as an experience Hostess, she should know better.
I believe she is trying to use her power as an hostess to comit the crime.
If you are given anything by anyone ( I mean ANYBODY), ask them to open it right infront of you, let them know that it the policy of the airline.
Is better to lose your friends, cousin, sister, brother,uncle... than your dignity and life.
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT
I knw the arik lady in question,seen her a couple of times,you never can trust these staffs,believe shes bin doing this for a while now but just got caught.
