NDLEA arrests man importing 66 wraps of hard drug into Nigeria

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a man while importing heroin into Nigeria.

Sahara Reporters writes about the man, a Nigerian named Anukaenyi Bob-Manuel Ogochukwu, arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos state on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Nairobi, Kenya when he was discovered to have drugs on his person.

According to the report, security screening discovered he was carrying heroin wraps inside his body.

NDLEA spokesman Mitchell Ofoyeju confirmed the incident and said that the arrest took place after the suspect tested positive for narcotic ingestion. The suspect was carrying 66 wraps of heroin, weighing 1.115kg.

Ahmadu Garba, NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, revealed that the suspect excreted 66 wraps of powdery substance that tested positive for heroin.

The suspect, 43-year-old Ogochukwu, in his statement confessed that he smuggled drugs to save his four-year old son who he said was on sick bed in Nairobi where he is also married to Kenyan lady.

He said: "I teach in a computer school at Onitsha, Anambra State."

"This is my very first time of having anything to do with drugs. I smuggled drugs to save my sick child. The doctor said that my child has a hole in the heart. I met many people for help, but nobody was willing to help me except a drug baron.”

Chief Executive of the NDLEA Col Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah however said that the suspect would be charged to court for further prosecution because there was no excuse for committing crime.

Manchester united out of fa cup

by kingsolo4real, in

Chelsea remained firmly on course for a domestic Double as N'Golo Kante's second-half winner settled a stormy FA Cup quarter-final meeting with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.

United manager Jose Mourinho was involved in touchline clashes with opposite number Antonio Conte and was verbally abused by Chelsea fans at the scene of many of his triumphs, including three titles.

The Portuguese was furious when midfielder Ander Herrera was sent off 10 minutes before half-time after a second foul on Eden Hazard, and the managers were kept apart moments later after Marcos Alonso tumbled to the floor after being brought down.

Kante's low 51st-minute drive finally beat defiant United keeper David de Gea, who saved superbly from Hazard and Gary Cahill before the break to keep Mourinho's side in contention before Chelsea made the breakthrough.

Marcus Rashford, who came off his sick bed to play - with Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, and Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial injured, created United's best chance for himself but Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois saved with his feet to set up a semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley.Tottenham at Wembley.

Nation building: JAMB lauds media with caution notes

— 13th March 2017

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has commended the Nigerian media for their role in nation building and transformation of the society.
He gave the commendation in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin, yesterday in Lagos.
He said the media remained a veritable tool in the board’s quest to execute its mandate of ensuring a brighter future for the Nigerian child.
“The JAMB will like to commend the role of the Nigeria media, especially in its quest to sensitise the public on the innovations carried out in the sale of 2017 application document.
“Of great interest is particularly on the recent publicity given by some media outfits over the `no admission for awaiting candidates,” Oloyede said.
JAMB, however, faulted some of the headlines in the publications, noting that curious readers would jump into conclusion by merely reading the headlines of the publications without reading the body of the stories.
“Such headlines led to readers to think that JAMB had excluded candidates with awaiting results from taking the unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, which is not true.
“Such attitude is not only capable of misleading the public but could cause disaffection, anger, misconception of Federal Government guidelines on admissions,” he said.
