airport.
Tochukwu
Prosper Nzom who hails from Anambra State is married with two children. NDLEA
quoted the 46 year-old auto parts dealer as saying that he would have been paid
1,500 dollars.
He
said………………….
“I
was drinking with friends when I heard them talking about drugs. I actually
volunteered to smuggle drugs because of my financial situation. They agreed to
pay me 1,500 dollars because it was only three wraps weighing 225 grams. I am
from a poor home, Ilemena Chinedu Peter also said that he too requested to
smuggle drugs because of financial hardship."
“I am from Enugu State. I am married
to a Brazilian lady and we have a child. I work as a sales-boy in a
supermarket. I dropped out of school in Junior Secondary class 3. I overheard
some of my friends discussing about drugs and I indicated interest. That was
how it started. The drug was packed in a bag for me and they promised to pay me
2,500 dollars. I am so sad, disappointed and ashamed of myself”
Is difficult to understand the young men's plight but hard life could push them into drug.
