How to Expand your cosmetic business with one million naira if...

"My sponsor offered to foot my expenses to Saudi on pilgrimage. I was excited until I was asked to
take drugs along. I wanted to decline but considering the offer of a million naira, I accepted. I swallowed the drugs in Lagos and took a flight to Abuja on my way to Medina but I was caught in the process."

   This was the pathetic case of Mrs Binuyo arrested during the outward screening of passengers on an Emirate flight to Medina through Dubai this weekend. She has so far excreted seventy-six (76) pellets of drugs that tested positive for cocaine. Meanwhile, she is still under observation until the drugs are completely expelled."
    According to The Nation, the 55year-old woman, married and a mother of three happened to be a trader at Dosumu Market, Lagos. In her statement to NDLEA, she said she wanted to expand her cosmetic business but had no money.

Meanwhile, officials at the Murtalla Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) intercepted a 37-year-old  man from Imo State after he was found to have inserted seven wraps of cocaine weighing 355 grammes in his anus at the MMI. He was apprehended during outward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian Airline flight to Hong Kong, China through Addis Ababa.

NDLEA commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba said that the suspect, holds a dual citizenship of Nigeria and Mali.

"He hails from Imo State but was travelling with a Malian international passport. The name on his passport is Diara Sauduo while his Nigerian name is Okpalanem Henry. The case is under investigation."

The suspect in his statement said: "I know that there is capital punishment for drug trafficking in China but I was optimistic of safe passage. Unfortunately, I was caught with only seven wraps. Maybe that is my destiny. I am married with three children."
