SUICIDAL! Pregnant womanswallows 51 wraps of cocaine

THERE couldn't have been a much more suitable
adjective to describe the action of a middle-aged
woman who threw caution to the winds and
swallowed an astonishing 51 wraps of cocaine for
inexcusable reason of poverty than to describe it as
'suicide'.
The 38 year-old woman from Oduma in Enugu
State who resides in Brazil gave her name as
Mbechi Obiageli Susan. She was arrested at the
Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on her
way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, by operatives of the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,
with the aid of a scanning machine.
Though the woman has since pleaded poverty for
her action, chairman of the anti-narcotic agency,
Ahmadu Giade, was quick to disagree with her
claim on the ground that there were several other
credible means of earning a living.
Illicit drug trafficking
Giade said: "Poverty is far from an excuse for
anybody to take to illicit drug trafficking. There are
many other ways of making a living without
breaching the law. Apart from offending the law, did
she think about the danger inherent in ingesting
hard drugs as a pregnant woman? This is why we
shall continue to do our best to provide enabling
environment to fight this menace that is fast
assuming frightening dimension."
While the case of Susan was still being analysed,
two other women, Ms. Obiakor Maryann Okwudili
and Ms. Anene Blessing Iruoma allegedly walked
into the agency's dragnet also at the same airport
with a much more larger quantity of hard drugs
which later tested for Methamphetamine smartly
concealed in their customized panties, brassiers
and hair wigs.
Though the women tried to outwit NDLEA
operatives, they were, however, betrayed by their
body frisk; and that attracted the attention of airport
security officials who suspected that there must be
more to their gorgeous looks. Upon profiling too,
the duo who hail from Nando and Igbariam in
Anambra State respectively were discovered to
have concealed the illicit drugs in their underwears
and hair wigs.
They were both on their way to Malaysia via Cairo
and attempted to board an Egypt airline flight. They
too blamed poverty for their woes. The drugs
weighed 4.5kgs.
Commenting on the arrest, Abuja airport
commander of NDLEA, Mr. Hamisu Lawan, said he
was shocked at the escalating rate of women's
involvement in criminality especially illicit drug
trafficking. Though he commended his men for their
exceptional performance, he also expressed
gratitude to airport security officials for their
alertness and collaboration.
Hamisu said: "The drugs were detected during
routine screening of passengers. The suspects are
helping narcotic officials in our investigation. I
commend the level of cooperation among security
agencies at the airport. I also thank the
management of the Federal Airport Authority of
Nigeria, FAAN, for their significant role in these
arrests.
"Miss Anene Blessing hails from Igbariam in
Anambra State with passport number A03660604.
She was found to be wearing a customized
brassier, pants and hair wig all stuffed with
substances which tested positive for
methamphetamine weighing 1.7kg. Ms Obiakor
Maryann Okwudili, age 34, who hails from Nando in
Anambra State with passport number A01444553
was apprehended on same flight with Anene.
She too concealed 1.90kg of methamphetamine in
under wears. The third suspect named Mbechi
Obiageli Susan, with passport number A00288396
hails from Oduma village in Enugu State. She
ingested 900 grammes of cocaine and was
arrested on her way from Sao-Paulo, Brazil with the
aid of scanning machines. Mbechi claimed to be
three months pregnant and during the process of
profiling, she excreted 51 pellets of cocaine
weighing 900 grammes.source from vanguard

BREAKING NEWS France Football Federation hand Nasri three-match ban

Samir Nasri has been hit with a three-match ban by the French Football Federation (FFF) for his controversial behavior during the national team 's Euro 2012 campaign. The Manchester City attacking midfielder's teammate Jeremy Menez has been suspended for one game over his own ill-discipline in Poland and Ukraine, but Hatem Ben Arfa and Yann M'Vila have escaped with warnings over their future conduct. Nasri, the subject of much media criticism in the lead-up to the European Championship, first sparked controversy when he made straight for the touchline after scoring in France's tournament opener against England and shouted obscenitiesat the press box.

Ben Arfa, though, has not been punished over his dressing-roomdispute with then boss Laurent Blanc after defeat by Sweden, while M'Vila has also avoided sanction over his refusal to shakethe hand of either replacement Olivier Giroud or Blanc following his substitution in the lossto Spain.

20 houses burnt over youth’s death in Rivers

PORT HARCOURT - NO fewer than 20 houses, were, yesterday, set ablaze
in Omudioga community, Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State,
when irate youths reportedly went berserk over the death of a youth,
who was simply identified as Benjamin.
Details at press time were hazy but community sources said the
rampaging youths speculated that the death of the late Benjamin might
havebeen caused by some members of the community.
Effort to stop the rampaging youths from venting their anger on the
property of innocent community folks was futile.
However, attempt to get the reaction of the state Police Public
Relations Officer, Mr Ben Ugwuegbulam, was futile, as his mobile lines
rang out.
Meantime, community sources said security men had been deployed to
quell the riotous situation. Some victims of the attack, said they had
to flee their houses when it became clear that the rampaging youths
were out of control.
Chairman of the council, Mr Allen Nma, confirmed the incident, adding
that the development had been brought under control.
"Several houses were burnt and property worth millions naira
destroyed. The Police had taken over the place to prevent any further
attacks, but the youths, responsible for these evil acts must face the
wrath of the law," he said.
