“I’m not a criminal, I just want to survive,” Grandmother Nabbed With Heroin Spills
A 51-year-old grandmother, Monsurat Akinyemi, has been nabbed with 180 grammes of heroin by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
According to Punch, the woman, said to be a trader, was caught with four parcels of the drug in her luggage during an inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Entebbe, Uganda.
The agency’s commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba, reportedly revealed the suspect travelled to Uganda for one week and hid the drugs in her luggage on the way back.
Speaking to investigators, the embattled grandmother said:
“I used to buy female clothes from India for sale. However, due to family problems and the economic situation, my business started to die. I wanted to expand my business. I was introduced to drug trafficking by a friend who invited me to Uganda. I invested my $3,000 in the deal and expected that I would get $6,000 from it. I am sad that things did not go as planned. I am not a criminal. I just want to survive. When the drug was discovered at the airport, I felt as if it was all over for me.”
The suspect will be charged to court soon.
