NDLEA arrest man at Lagos airport as he tried to smuggle $34k out of Nigeria

Ozoh Ikenna was arrested yesterday October 9th at the International Wing of the Murtala Muhammed Air­port, Ikeja, Lagos, by men of the National Drug Law En­forcement Agency (NDLEA) as he tried to smuggle 23 wraps containing 34 thousand dollars out of the country. Ozoh was on his way to Brazil in an Etihad Airways flight, that would first stop at Abu Dhabi, when he was arrested after customs spotted the money, packed in wraps similar to narcotics and con­cealed in his boxer shorts, during screening of passengers.
Speaking on the arrest, NDLEA Airport commander, Ah­madu Garba, told journalists “The wraps of dollars found on Ozoh Ikenna were detected with the aid of a scanning machine. We also con­ducted a follow-up operation where one Ogbo Emmanuel (pictured above), who gave Ozoh the $34,000 dollars, was arrested,” the commander stated. A rep of As­sets and Financial Investigation direc­torate Mrs Victoria Egbase said investigation conducted revealed that the suspects are involved in the laundering of substantial amount of illicit drug proceeds. “We were able to trace over N226,000,000 to one bank account belonging to the second suspect, Ogbo Emmanuel. The account name is Eter­nal God International Limited”. Ozoh, in his statement, said that he was only a courier. “I live in Brazil since 2008. I was paid to smuggle the $34,000 to Brazil. They promised to pay me five per cent. I agreed to smuggle the money to alleviate my financial hardship. I could not swallow the wraps so I de­cided to hide it in my underpants,” he said

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it.
