Nnaemeka Benjamin, A 36-year-old man, who is standing trial after he was caught smuggling cocaine, but was granted bail by the court.
Shocking enough, Nnaemeka Benjamin, has been arrested again for the same offence.
During investigation, Nnaemeka, who has excreted the drugs he ingested, said:
“I am long overdue to marry but I have no wife.
I know that what I did is bad but it is due to unemployment. I was first arrested in 2009 when I went to Brazil to smuggle Cocaine.
When I came out on bail, there was no job for me to do. Although my case with the NDLEA is pending in court; I decided to try again hoping that this time i will get lucky.
"This time around they promised to pay me four million naira. My intention was to settle down because I want to be working rather than staying idle.
I am still single at my age. It is not that I do not want to be married but there is no money and no job.”
The accused, who is standing trial for Cocaine smuggling at the Lagos High Court, Ikoyi, was re-arrested with 1.820kg of heroin by officials of the NDLEA at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Nnaemeka, in his confessional statement, is insisting that he went back to drug trafficking because he couldn't find a better job to do to enable him gather money for marriage.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Hamza Umar said "He excreted a total of 100 wraps weighing 1.820kg.”
He will be charged to court a again and it seems there will be no bail for him this time.
