What a bad record! The first drug trafficker to be arrested this new year, 2013, in Nigeria is King Sunny Ade’s ex-guitarist. He is 62-year-old Fatoke Abiodun (pictured above with the drugs).
Mr Fatoke, who said he was abandoned by Sunny Ade after serving the music legend for 30, was arrested on Tuesday January 1st 2013 with 1.575kg of cocaine.
Nigeria's anti-drug agency, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said Fatoke was arrested on Tuesday while trying to board an Air France flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. The drug was discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the screening of passengers to Italy.
During interrogation Fatoke said he played for KSA for 30 years before he was unceremoniously retired in 2007 and with nothing to fall back on, and with four wives and many children, the grandfather turned to drugs.
He begged for mercy and said this trip was his first attempt.

ReplyDeleteU are very stupid 4 dat statement is it only yoruba carrying cocaine?bt d man is a disgrace to us?fash.
ReplyDeleteAt D'Sam.It has clearly shown that you are a tribalist.Why cnt you learn to comment without refering to a tribe? You should rather go back to sch and learn how to respect other tribes.You are not fit to have been a Nigerian in hte first instance.
ReplyDeleteThe man should accept his wrong doing without caring along the name of our famous KSA, was he the only person that works with Sunny Ade? is that enough reason for him to go into drug at his age? then all the retired Nigerians that were denied their pension benefits will go into drug business, sir, if you can read this sue KSA to court and seek for redress drug is not the option
ReplyDeleteYoung ppl shld rather learn to start securing thier future nw dat dey r able esp those of us who r self employed dat r not entitled to pension.

ReplyDeleteSuch a greedy man, he wants to compete Range Rover Sport with the Yahoo boys.lolz
ReplyDeleteHow can you complain of being abandoned when you spend all your earnings throughout the 30 years on women. Only a well paid man will go for four wives. Leave King Sunny Ade out of this and go and cool off in jail.
