A former Commissioner of police ,who was elected a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria said sometime ago that he was ashamed of being in the same chamber as a lawmaker with drug Barons he had arrested and detained during his active service before retirement .
Are you still asking why we have the kind of lawmakers ,who are only interested in being in power and in the limelight,not necessarily for lawmaking or for good governance.
If they are in the majority , definitely they will never allow bills from some decent lawmakers among them who genuinely want to solve the problem of the nation to see the light of the day.
Our youths ,men and women are watching and following these bad examples.They want to make money at all cost in order to get into politics since it has become a cash and carry matter.
You understimate the power of example at your own peril.
On the 27th of January 2021, at about 1320hours,during the inward clearance of Ethiopian Airline passengers at the E- arrival hall of Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, a female passenger, 33 years, old arrived Nigeria from Sao Paulo, Brazil via Addis Ababa, and was intercepted by NDLEA operative
It happened that the suspect was targeted. Consequently,she was taken to the NDLEA office at the airport,where her bags were searched thoroughly & in the process, whitish powdery substances were found concealed inside 16 pieces of duvet contained in her two travel bags.
Field test was conducted on the recovered substances and proved positive to cocaine and weighed 26.850kilograms.
The suspect who is a hairstylist and based in Brazil was interviewed and she confessed to having agreed to smuggle the hard drug for the N2m only.
“Although she refused to disclose the names of her associates, she mentioned that she was asked to hand over the drugs to another person. The street value of this singular seizure is put at over N21billion.
Who may possibly be her powerful associates? Your guess is as good as mine.
