Handel Omekanneji was recently arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for ingesting 88 wraps of cocaine.
The discovery was made by officials of the National Dug Law Enforcement Agency during the inward screening of passengers on an Iberia Airline flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, confirmed the arrest. He said, “Omekanneji tested positive for drug ingestion during the inward screening of passengers. He excreted a total of 88 wraps of substance found to be cocaine, which weighed 1.550kg. The case is under investigation and he will soon be charged to court.”
Omekanneji confessed that he travelled to Brazil in 1997 in search of job opportunities. “When I got to Brazil in 1997, I could not get a job so I began selling clothes to survive. Although I was doing fine in business, the profit was insufficient because I am the bread winner of my family and extended family.
"I am not proud of what I have done but was pushed by my situation,” he pleaded.

ReplyDeleteDO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR GOVERNMENT TO GIVE YOU JOB? THERE ARE MANY JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS COUNTRY. IT IS EITHER WE ARE VERY LAZY AND TOO PROUD TO DO CERTAUN JOBS. WEALTH COMES FROM THE FILTH! THOSE THAT TRAVEL OUTSIDE DO THE WORST WORK THAN THOSE AVAILABLE HERE. WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR ORIENTATION AND CURRICULUM. IF EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A DIRECTOR/MANAGER IN A WHITE COLLAR JOB, THEN WE ARE NOT SERIOUS. THIS COUNTRY IS GOOD FOR THOSE THAT CAN THINK LEGITIMATELY. IF THIS MAN WAS NOT CAUGHT, HE TOO WOULD HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE OPRESSORS.
ReplyDeleteI am of the opinion that the rich help the poor. If you have 10million naira in your savings, take 1million naira and share it among 5 poor to start business. If you have ten cars, sell one and give the money to few poor to establish themselves. If you have 10 estates, share one estate among few poor to enable them start new life. Etc. By so doing you are reducing the rate of crime and at the same time establishing everlasting treasure in heaven. - NJC.
