Ozoh Hycenth Chukwuemeka |
Ozoh Hycenth Chukwuemeka, an Anambra state born, 45 year old Nigerian barber based in South Africa was caught with 6.1kg of Cocaine worth around 50 million naira on the streets and when asked Ozoh said he was paid $3000 USD to help a friend move what he taught was chemicals and not cocaine.
Explaining how Ozoh was arrested, the agency’s Airport Commander,
Hamza Umar, told pressmen the substance was concealed in a false
compartment in his luggage.
When a search was conducted at the baggage checking desk at the
departure hall, the substance was discovered to be cocaine,which street
value was estimated at N50 million.
In Ozoh's words, he said:
“A friend of mine in South Africa asked me to bring a bag containing
chemicals from Nigeria to South Africa for $3,000. When I asked him if
it was drug, he said it was just chemicals.
He paid for my return ticket. I never knew it was cocaine. I am only
struggling to take care of myself with my barbing business back in South
Africa.
If I had known that things will turn out this way, I would have rejected the proposal,”
