Oh Dear!!!
An Ogun State-based businesswoman, Olayinka Adisa, travelling to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for Umrah (lesser Hajj) was arrested by operatives of the National Law Drug Enforcement Agency for allegedly ingesting 80 pellets of cocaine.
Adisa was arrested on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, at the boarding screening area of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, during an outward clearance of Qatar Airways flight 1418.
The NDLEA, in a statement by its Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Monday, said the suspect claimed she trafficked the drug to get money for her in vitro fertilisation treatment.
Babafemi said the suspect excreted the 80 pellets of the drug between Wednesday, when she was arrested, and Saturday, November 27, 2021.
He said, “She claimed during interviews that she saved N2.5m over a period of one year to buy the drug in bits from six different people at Akala, in the Mushin area of Lagos. The suspect further said she was trading in clothes but had to borrow N1m from three persons to make up the money used to buy the drug, adding that she spent another N1m to renew her passport, visa and buy return flight tickets."

Hmmm eyah
ReplyDeleteCriminals seem to craft a sob story and keep it for when they are caught...
DeleteTtc and desperation!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad
Desperation that carry me go Ghana and got duped.Since then,never can I be so desperate.If it takes a year to save for ivf then so shall it be.
She couldn't handle the pressure I know. Desperation and pressure will push you to do what you will regret.
DeleteThere are other ways to raise money
ReplyDeleteNow she will be in jail for long
And her husband may re-marry or
Produce several babies. Before she comes back😰😰
Exactly, so sad she lost patience.
DeleteShe's lucky she was caught here in Nigeria. If it was over there, it could be a death sentence
ReplyDeleteExactly!! Over there, its death sentence.
DeleteSo so true.
DeleteShe's a lucky lady.
She get mind, drug to Saudi Arabian?? Aaah she sha get huge liver.
May we NEVER be desperate for anything in life.
Anon. 19.47! Exactly! She is a very lucky woman that she was arrested in Naija. Her story about IVF is just to get sympathy. I don’t believe her story as she must have been dealing before now
DeleteThey should give her a light sentence. Na condition make crayfish bend
ReplyDeleteHe case might sound pitiable but nto excuse is acceptable for crime
ReplyDeleteLucky she was nabbed in Nigeria, else they would've cut off her head. That 2.5m reach do a round of treatment, except she needed more for a surrogate(s).
ReplyDeleteShe has millions to spend. Greed
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,Naija will be fair on her
ReplyDeleteExcuses,she just wanted the quick and easy way out.
ReplyDeleteivf is not 7m. I ttc for 7yrs, it was tough but not enough reasons to commit a crime
ReplyDeleteI don't believe her. All lies cause she doesn't want to expose her sponsors. Ivf is not up to 2m, why didnt she use the money for flight tickets to do her IVF.
ReplyDeleteShe's a big liar, lying with the IVF to garner pity from gullible people.
It might be surrogacy for her, dont be too hasty to pass judgement. Though nothing justifies crime, it will have been better she begged, who knows what will happen
DeleteNeither me. The story just sounds some how. But she should thank her lucky stars she was discovered in Nigeria, that is a death sentence crime where she was headed.
DeleteHmmmmmm, I tend to agree with you KIDJO.
DeleteThis is why I say most Africans have kids for selfish reasons. So you become a criminal to bring a child into this world, what is the sustainability plan for the child beyond a lifetime of the emotional blackmail "I carried you for nine months and even committed crime for you" and using the child as her ultimate retirement plan?
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to add the most important part, she would have destroyed the lives of many kids with the drug she was peddling, just to bring forth her own. What a selfish person, not fit to be a mother.
DeleteThank you for calling it what it is “emotional blackmail”. No child ever asked to be brought into this world. Two adults has unprotected intercourse, a child shows up 9 months later. You owe that child the world. It’s your duty & responsibility to provide for the child. Not the other way around.
DeleteYes, I have three children of my own. No, they are not my retirement plan. Yes, they take up all my income, I only wish I had more to offer them.
18:37, thank you for being the kind of parent you are. We will indeed be better than our parents.
Delete17:31 so true!
DeleteThat woman up there is too old to have a baby! Maybe a surrogate I think but that is not enough to engage in drug peddling! She will face the music
ReplyDeleteIf this is a man nobody will feel pity for him like this. I said it women can suit matters to their own taste to get empathy... Drugs is not the only problem I feel no pity
ReplyDeleteWhat?!!😳😳😳
