In the confessional statement of Chijioke who was recently deported from India, he said he wanted to use the profit from the drug sales to set up a business.
“I was recently deported from India. At present, I am jobless and need to establish myself. My friend in India told me to collect the drug from a lady at Oshodi area of Lagos. But in the process, we were arrested”, he said.
In the confessional statement of Ogbonna Paul Obioma, he said: “My friend came to me with the drugs that I should assist in looking for a buyer. I decided to partner with him because he promised to reward me handsomely. My
intention was to make quick money.”
The duo according to the commander will soon be charged to court after investigations of their activities.
