Mum Of Three Accuses Husband Of Implicating Her In Drug Scandal
The suspect, Rashidat Abdulkarim during interrogation has accused her husband who lives in South Africa of implicating her. NDLEA airport commander, Mr. Hamza Umar said that the drug was seized at the cargo section of Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO). “The seizure was made during routine screening of goods at the cargo section. During a careful search, 2.04kg of cannabis was found to be concealed in a carton of knorr seasoning. Other items in the luggage are local textiles and herbal medicines. The consignor was immediately arrested following the discovery of the cannabis” Hamza stated.
Rashidat who sells female shoes and hand bags said that she is still in deep shock that cannabis was found in the consignment sent to her by the husband. “I am in shock and pain that my husband is behind my problem. My husband sent twenty-eight thousand naira to buy locally made textiles. He also told me that one man will bring food seasoning and herbal medicines to me. I bought the textiles and added it to the seasoning bought by the man. On getting to the airport, drug was found inside the carton of seasoning. I am so sad and disappointed” Rashidat stated.
She hails from Lagos State. She also expressed her worry over her children. In her words, “I struggle to fend for myself and my three children. Even before my husband travelled to South Africa he left me with the upkeep of the family. I have suffered so much financial neglect. I have never smuggled drugs all my life. He had done the worst. My eldest child is only thirteen years”.
Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade has promised to carry out detailed investigation. “The case is being investigated and all those involved in the
crime will not go unpunished”.
Hnmmm yeye the smell
Hnmmmm
so notin to do for a living other than drugs? ur cup don full
Hmmm its a pity…… I believe the woman’s innocence cos this is one reason my hubby don’t help anyone to take or bring stuff when travelling. You never can tell what is going on btw the sender and receiver. Let’s be wise in all our dealings.
Nawa!
Hmmm Na wa oo
Na wa oh.
Once I was at the airport going to Nigeria, a little but wild girl approached me to help her carry her excess luggage, that when we get inside the terminal, after the check point , she will get it back from me. I gently borrowed myself brain. No falling for such mistake. There might not be or there might be something implicating inside the bag but it’s either this or that. I don’t take such risk. May God see her thru if she is innocent.
I don’t blame the woman as it wasn’t her fault. She trusted her husband so how could he do that to her. I hope he gets arrested instead
see gobe!
Hmmmm hope the truth prevails. Don’t know who’s telling the truth.
Wahala dey oo
I feel sorry for her iF she was telling d truth some men can be heartless
Lord have mercy
Nawa o..this is serious
If u ask me….
May God vindicate you if you’re innocent.
I really hope she is innocent and set free
