Okorafor Chijioke Daniel
Okorafor Chijioke Daniel, a native of Ebonyi state in Nigeria has been confirmed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for drug trafficking in an Iberia flight conveying Super Eagles players last weekend.
In a statement released by the agency’s head of public affairs Ofoyeju Mitchell,
Okorafor was caught with a bag containing 2kg of cocaine; all six
parcels of drug were concealed in the sole of 3 pairs of shoes in the
suspect’s hand luggage.
According to the law enforcement agent,
the suspect will be charged with unlawful exportation and possession of
cocaine under section 11 subsection b and d of the NDLEA Act.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr Hamza Umar
said ‘the 2kg of cocaine was traced to a passenger by name Okorafor
Chijioke Daniel. Six parcels of the drug were hidden inside the sole of
three pairs of shoes in his hand luggage. Our wall of security was hard
for him to break and he wanted to abandon the drug but he failed. His
case file is ready and he will soon appear in court’.
While agreeing to the crime, Okorafor, 45, explained his reason for the act by saying ‘I
lived in Poland for many years working in a supermarket. Problem began
when I lost my job and could not pay my bills. I relocated to Spain
where I got the offer to smuggle the drug for 8,000 dollars. It was
difficult for me to resist because I have wife and children. This is my
first time of smuggling drugs and I was nervous. I wanted to abandon the
drugs for fear of arrest but everything worked against me‘.
The suspect hails from Ebonyi State and attended Mgbom Central School but stopped in primary 3.
