“I am a fashion designer by profession. I went to Brazil two years ago
in search of better working conditions. This is my first time of
trafficking in drugs and I got involved through friends. I was expecting
30,000 Euros as my profit. My business partner was to collect the drug
from me while on transit in Qatar but he failed to show-up. I was
compelled to come to Nigeria with the drugs but I excreted 30 on board
the aircraft.”

continue to pay attention to passengers coming from Brazil, saying
“Brazil is a source country for cocaine and we shall continue to beam
our searchlight on this route. Those who seek to enrich themselves
through drug trafficking shall be arrested and prosecuted”.
