Salawu Akiola Tubosun who, for the love of N250,000, had swallowed 100 pieces of substances that tested positive for heroin. Two other suspected drug traffickers were also caught at the Murtalla Murhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, for ingesting substances suspected to be narcotic drugs. The suspects are Rosemary Okonji( 29) and Enoma Kelvin( 37).Commenting on the spate of arrests made by the Agency in recent times, the Chairman/Chief Executive of the agency, Alhaji Ahmadu Giade , assured Nigerians that no effort would be spared in the Agency’s determination to rid the country of narcotic drugs. “The international rating of the agency is rising by the day with the various arrests and seizures that we are recording. We will not relent in this all- important fight for a drug- free society. The dangers of illicit drugs are terribly devastating to mankind. That is why we must put drug barons out of business,” Giade declared. He also thanked Nigerians for their collaborative spirit. Head of the Public Affairs of the agency, Ofoyeje Mitchell said Pa Salawu was arrested on Monday August 27, 2008 at about 10.30 am at the departure hall of the airport during the screening of passengers on Virgin Atlantic flight. The 72- year- old contractor, who hails from Abeokuta in Ogun State, confessed during interrogation that he had ingested 100 wraps of substances that tested positive for heroin. He also said in his statement that he had worked as a contractor for the past 37 years and that he got involved in the shady deal due to financial difficulty. “It is lack of money that made me to carry drugs. I was financially distressed and things were so difficult because there were no more contracts. I swallowed 100 wraps of the drugs in a hotel in Mushin area of Lagos and they promised to pay me 250,000 naira to take the drugs to New York”.
