Cocaine n Politics: 52-year old Nigerian politician-pharmacist caught with bellyful of cocaine…. Special to USAfricaonline.com and CLASSmagazine, Houston
Nigeria’s drug enforcement agency says it has arrested a politician who allegedly swallowed 2 kilograms (nearly 4.5 pounds) of cocaine to fund his election campaign.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said Monday it arrested 52-year-old Eme Zuru Ayortor at Lagos’ Murtala Mohammed International Airport. The agency says the pharmacist-turned-politician was trying to board a flight to Germany when a scanning machine detected an abnormality in his stomach.
Agents say they found 100 individually wrapped packages of cocaine inside his body. The agency says the politician claimed his failed 2007 run for the Edo state House of Assembly ruined him financially and smuggling drugs was the only way he could fund his 2011 election bid. He has yet to be charged. AP/Mon May 17, 2010
I think it is high time we advised Nigerians who still peddle drugs to stop doing so. They should rather make their way to the creek and with a few AK47 — with the cost of a twoway ticket once can buy more than 100 units anyway –, loot a few barrels of oil and seel it on the spot. There are many buyers with ships hovering off shore. That is more courageous and less risky as well as more profitable. On your marks , get ready Go go and go!!!!!
