If you are among those who do not want to work and build
a decent life but want to enjoy all the good things of life, it
is a only a matter of time, your fraud or atrocities will catch
up with you.
A 28-year-old university graduate of Economics, Nonso
Akubueze, has been arrested along with four other
suspects by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency,
NDLEA, for alleged drug trafficking.
It was learnt that Akubueze and the other suspects –
Simon Omoluonye, Obidike Onodyer, Friday Onyeabor and
Emma Ifoh – were apprehended at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport, Lagos, with 11.5 kilogrammes of
cocaine substances valued at N57m.
According to Punch, the bad guys had smuggled the drug
into the country from Brazil.
Akubueze, who was found with 1.1kg of cocaine hidden in
his luggage, claimed that he had left Nigeria for Brazil with
the hope of getting a good job but his expectation was
dashed on getting there.
He said, "I am a 2009 graduate of Economics but I have no
job. I left Nigeria in search of job opportunities. My
condition of living in Brazil was worse than when I was in
Nigeria. It was my friend that gave me the bag containing
the drug."
Omeluonye, 28, said he was to be paid N1m for the
mission, adding that he had intended to use the proceed to
start a business and further his education.
On his part, 40-year-old Onodyer, told NDLEA investigators
that he was paid N200,000 for the 11 wraps of cocaine he
ingested.
He said, "Drug trafficking was my last option to free myself
from the harsh condition of living in Brazil. Unfortunately, I
could only swallow 11 wraps so I was paid N200,000."
The commander at the MMIA, Mr. Hamza Umar, said:
"Different methods were adopted in concealing the drug.
One of the suspects, Omoluonye, was caught with both
white and crack cocaine in tins weighing 7.8kg. Akubueze
had 1.1kg by the side of his luggage while Onodyer
ingested 11 wraps of cocaine weighing 0.5 grammes.

Ifoh was caught with 34 wraps weighing 0.7 grammes.

other suspects are from Anambra State."
