Busted! Bad Guys caught with N59m Cocaine in Whisky Bottle
The bad guys – Michael Okwuma and Chidiebere Nwajagu – were said to have smuggled the drugs into the country from Brazil.
While Okwuma hid his share of the drugs inside wooden frames, Nwajagu was said to have concealed his own drugs inside cartons of whisky bottles.
According to Punch, the drugs were uncovered at MMIA during an inward screening of passengers on board a South African Airways and an Emirates flight.
31yrs old Okwuma told investigators that he was introduced to the crime by a Nigerian in Brazil and was paid $3,000 (about N600,000). He said he had wanted to use the money to augment his meagre salary.
He said, “I live in Sao Paulo with my wife and child. I work in a supermarket but my salary is not sufficient to take care of my family. The man that gave me the drugs is like a father to me.
“He usually renders me financial assistance. He was the one that bought my ticket and gave me the $3,000. I was very happy for the gesture. He also gave me a bag containing children’s clothes and wooden frames to take to Nigeria. When I got to Lagos, NDLEA officers opened the bag and found the cocaine.”
On his part, 30yrs old Nwajagu said he took to drug trafficking to raise funds for his business. He added that he was introduced to drug trafficking by a friend in Lagos.
He said, “I was in my village in Anambra doing menial jobs to sustain myself. I came to Lagos on a short visit when I met an old friend. He was very nice to me as he used to give me money, buy me drinks and food.
“He told me to travel to Brazil and help him bring a bag back to Nigeria. He said he would give me enough money to help me start a business. That was how I travelled out of Nigeria. On arrival, the bag was searched and the cocaine was found inside packs of Irish whiskey. I never knew I would end up this way.”
The NDLEA Commander at the MMIA, Mr. Ahmadu Garba, who confirmed the arrests, put the street value of the drugs at N59m.

Child trafficking syndicate arrested in Delta by SARS
SARS rescued five children suspected
to have been sold by members of the group who operate within Delta,
Anambra, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom and Rivers state.
The suspects said:
“We sold babies between 1-5 years of age to those who have been married for several years without children. Some of us are nurses and supportive members of staff of health institutions.We do not know how the police got wind of our illicit businesses while we were operating in Asaba and Onitsha. In most cases, a child costs between N250,000 to N500,000 while grown-up ones are sold for N1m.”
Investigation revealed that the
suspects took the SARS operatives to Akwa-Ibom State where two children
were rescued and two other persons, suspected to be members of their
gang, were also arrested.
One of the suspects, Patience Okon said,
“Since their mothers cannot take care of their babies because of lack of money, we normally arrange for wealthy parents who have no children but in need of children, to come and buy from us and take them away. We issue receipts of payment to them, we don’t steal the children as police are alleging but the mothers of these children in most cases opt for their children to be sold. Some of them don’t even know the men who impregnate them while some would be hiding from their parents. So we actually help them to solve their problems”.
“We were just helping out some persons who are in need. We are not human traffickers even though we make money from it. The mothers of the babies wanted to throw them away so we came to assist these young girls so that they would not throw away the babies or kill them.”
The Commissioner of Police in Delta
State, Alkali Baba Usman said that when they heard about the inter-state
human and child trafficking syndicate cell in Asaba, SARS operatives
proactively arrested the gang leader of the group, saying that the
suspect and her husband allegedly confessed to the crime and led the
officers to their different hideouts in Anambra, Akwa-Ibom and Cross
Rivers state.

Death toll in Paris Terrorist massacre increases to 200, all 8 attackers supposedly dead
Eyewitnesses said the terrorists all looked young, they walked into the theater and started shooting at people like they were birds. He said they stood at the back of the theatre in black clothing without covering their faces with any mask. They kept shooting and reloading for about 10 to 15 minutes.
The victims had gathered to see the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal, and a handful managed to escape through the roof and wherever they could.
They said the killers shouted "This is for Syria!" and "Alahu Akhbar!" as they cut down patrons from a balcony before the band took the stage.
The band members are said to be safe.
People said when the police arrived, and the terrorists knew they were cornered, they all blew themselves up with suicide vests. 4 of the terrorists killed themselves at the Bataclan, 3 were killed at the stadium while 1 was killed at a café.
Another eye witness said:
“It looked like a battlefield, there was blood everywhere, there were bodies everywhere," Coupris said. "I was at the far side of the hall when shooting began. There seemed to be at least two gunmen. They shot from the balcony.
“I saw my final hour unfurl before me, I thought this was the end. I thought, 'I’m finished, I’m finished,'" he said.The terrorists reportedly used AK-47s, grenades and suicide vests to carry out this horrible event.
French authorities said all five attackers were "neutralized, one arrested and more could be at large in the combined attacks. Now they are trying to identify people who may have helped the terrorists.
As many as six other attacks occurred, involving shootings and at least two suicide bombers, including one who detonated near the city's Stade de France soccer stadium where the French and German national teams were playing in a match attended by Hollande. The French President was at the stadium to watch the match and was securely removed without any incident.
The death toll from all of the attacks is expected to rise.
“There are lots of dead people," said a witness believed to have been at the bar of a restaurant that was the scene of one attack. "It’s pretty horrific to be honest. I was at the back of the bar. I couldn’t see anything. I heard gunshots. People dropped to the ground. We put a table over our heads to protect us."The French President has given authority to the French Police to knock on doors of Parisians and interrogate whoever they think might be a suspect.
Update:
The Police shot 1 of the attackers in the Bataclan theater and he blew
up when he fell to the ground, 3 others blew themselves up in the
theater.
3 blew themselves up at the stadium and 1 blew himself up at a café.
The death toll has risen to 200 while 80 people are reported injured.

APC Mocks PDP: We Won’t Give Jobs To Thugs & Girlfriends
APC faulted PDP's claim that the portfolios allocated to new ministers President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet did not inspire change, saying the argument is warped and a product of "defeat hangover".
A statement signed by the national secretary of the party, Malam Mai Mala Buni, advised the PDP to face its business and stop disturbing the APC-led government, saying that the task of rebuilding the country was everybody’s responsibility.
APC also commended President Buhari for his choice of ministers.
“President Buhari has what it takes to lead; he is imbued with vision to redirect Nigeria to prosperity but he needs the cooperation of all citizens and groups. Under five months, President Buhari has saved the country from brinkmanship, plugged loopholes, placed premium on prudence and set a new template for probity and accountability.”
The statement further reads: “We are happy that every member of the Federal Executive Council is tested and trusted. The meticulous assigning of portfolios on Wednesday was also a signal to Nigerians that their electoral investment in our great party and President Buhari was not a waste. We endorse all the portfolios, we have absolute faith in the new ministers and we know that the final hour of redemption is here.”
Oh Dear! Somebody Should Please Help This Lady
These days that we have many ladies who believe in sleeping with men for
money, any lady who shows her readiness to work and lead a decent life,
should by all means be assisted and encouraged.
This beautiful lady was spotted walking the streets of Abuja on Thursday with signs on her body, asking for a job. I hear she went to the Federal Secretariat and National Assembly looking for job. Please, all those who have the means in Abuja should kindly reach out to this lady and help her.
This is to Fashola, The Minister of Power, Works and Housing
As do the rest of the country, I congratulate you on your recent appointment as Nigeria's Minister or Power, Works and Housing. I wish you the best and hope pray and plan to support you to bring out the best for Nigeria and Nigerians whom you pledge and are appointed to serve.
It is because we are lagging behind by decades that I write you in all urgency. We have no time to waste.
There are just a few matters I will like to press. I am certain you have the capacity to deliver; I just wish to emphasize and stress what we need delivered...
Nigeria Has Always Been For The Rich
Nigeria has for the past 30 years, 14 years of PDP godfathers (IBB, Gusau, Abdulsalami, Dangote and co) and 16 of PDP sons (OBJ, GEJ, Dangote and co) served to provide what facilities and infrastructure it may, for the advantage of the rich and cabal and to the extortion of the poor. We have highways built by the state planned to have toll gates to tax the poor commuters. We have phone companies provided by the Obasanjo regime that tax Nigerian customers triple what their peers pay abroad. We created a cement monopoly that charges triple per bag than the world average, making it impossible for us to own our own homes. Our new cars in Nigeria are sold at above the costs in all neighboring African countries and in the West. I can go on and on.
If They Will Extort Us, We Don't Want Them
One thing is providing facilities and the other is extorting the masses with these provisions. Indeed you can provide all the infrastructure of modernity, but if these are provided as a means to covet state fiances and set traps and siphons to eternally extort the masses, then in truth the masses would rather be in darkness and without homes.
It is not poverty or the lack of power and houses that is behind Boko Haram, MEND, Ombatse and Radio Biafra and other terror organisations, no, as I have written expansively on in the past, it is Institutional Disenfranchisement: the robbing of poor Paul to feed rich peter, the impoverishing and deportation of the poor to pave wealth and comfortable accommodation for the rich that is behind the unrest. Maiduguri peoples lived in huts without power and were satisfied. Their problem did not come from the lack of, but the wickedness of the extortionist cabal.
What I am saying is; please build with 90% of the money allocated, for the poor, by the poor, with the poor and for the poor; who are the majority of Nigerians. Create opportunities for local and small business entry-level power generation so Nigerians do not have to bow to the Cabal.
How Come There Is No Public Housing In Nigeria's Large Cities?
It is a shame that across Nigeria you do not have housing for the poor. This is called "Projects," Poor or Public Housing in the US. I wrote about this in early 2014 and again to you in August of this year. Public housing is NOT "affordable housing." I am not aware of any public housing complexes in the entire large states of Nigeria like Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and Abuja where these are most critically needed. I may be wrong. That last such public housing complex I knew of was 1004, built decades ago.
The idea of humanity and civilization is that you cannot keep the poor far away from the centers of big cities and force them to commute for miles to wealthy paradises, to work to clean and cook and back without expecting social instability and terror. The poor must have areas where they too are accommodated in all cities for equality and fairness.
In America, in the middle of Manhattan, you have Projects. Projects are public housing complexes with government stabilized and substituted rents. You only pay rent based on your reported earnings and even live for free if you earn nothing. This is not done in the civilized world because they are wealthy, but because they understand the ABCs of society and prevention of more costly crime and terror.
Giving an example, I am not sure where the menial earners who will be working in Eko Atlantic city will reside? Are there poor housing complexes there? If not, do we plan for them to commute from out of the city to and from work every day? This would be criminally wrong. We must demolish houses within Eko Atlantic if so and raise a few Public housing complexes for moral and social progress. In Abuja and Lagos, we must demolish within rich neighborhoods to erect Public housing for the poor, otherwise our CHANGE tenure would come to an end with us only succeeding in further expanding the financial and physical distance between the wealthy and the poor.
I Don't Think There Is Anywhere To Deport Nigeria's Poor To
This is Nigeria now. There will always be poor...and there is no where to deport the poor to, unless Togo and Ghana, so we have no choice but to embrace them.
We must treat the rich and poor equally or else we are destroyed. Leviticus 19:15 "'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.
"...Those who came before you were destroyed because if a rich man among them stole, they would let him off, but if a lowly person stole, they would carry out the punishment on him. By Allaah, if Faatimah Bint (daughter of) Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” [Al-Bukhaari]
Think about the real reason why the Chibok girls have lived so `long in Sambisa; and think about the Boko Harm dead and may the Lord lead you. We will watch you and help you make Nigeria the best it can be for us all.
As you build Nigeria, please think of the poor and utilize the poor who voted for Buhari and created your path to this position. Please do not use contractors who have in the passed for instance, used 200xs the money, lets say $900,000 to build two boreholes that should not cost more than $3000.
Again, "even though you are not an engineer," I trust your capacity to deliver. Nigeria will not spoil.
God bless you and grant you success.
