December 3, 2016 – Nigerian Caught Smuggling Drug Hidden Inside Garri & Bitter Leaf To China In NDLEA Detention
A suspected Nigerian drug trafficker has been arrested by the operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Lagos while trying to smuggle 10kgs of Cannabis to China.
The suspect 38-year-old Uchenna Augustine who sells safety equipment in Lagos was caught while trying to board an Ethiopian Airline Flight to China from MMIA yesterday.
The Agency Commander, Garba Ahmadu said the suspect hid the weed inside garri, bitter cola and bitter leaf.
During investigation, Uchenna told NDLEA that a friend who lured him into the business didn’t inform him that drug trafficking is punishable by death in China.
Here is what the Enugu-born married father of 3 who blamed desperation for his action told the NDLEA yesterday:
Excuse not just genuine enough.
Another stupid fella who wants to make money by all means. Must you carry drugs to be rich? They don’t even have to mention his name i know the part of Nigeria where he is from. God safe you that it was not in Indonesia or China that they arrested you. With NDLEA you are sure of getting out in couple of weeks with handshake after bribe has exchanged hands.
I think it is time some extra big artificial ears are kept handy with some sound magnifier attached for use in gumming on to these people’s ears while telling them to desist from drug trafficking ! Their natural ears have obviously failed them so drastic measures are needed.
Mcweeeeeeew !!!
you better thank God for life, if not NDLEA u are Dead.
Each time they are caught, they‘ll quickly apportion blames to something, situation or the devil. At times, and this is most often, they claims to be first timers when caught.
I take a stroll…
there is no excuse enough to justify drug-trafficking
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR LIFE IS NOT A HURRY LIFE IS ALL ABOUT STEP BY STEP (DONT BE FASTER THAN YOUR SHADOW) WAT WILL HIS FAMILY DO KNOW THINK BEFORE YOU DO ANY THINY IRRESPONSIBLE
