Tawakalitu Adekunbi, 35, was caught with another unrepentant drug pusher, Ejoor Dan-Frank, 37, who served with her at Karachi prisons, where they were recruited by a cartel that was working from inside. Defending her action at the parade of 13 suspects by the Zonal Commander, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Alhaji Abdullahi Damburam, Adekunbi said she went back into drug pushing because she wanted to recoup what she had lost when she was in jail. Danburam said his men arrested Adekunbi last week, as she arrived on board a Kenyan Airways plane from Karachi and was found to have ingested 390 grammes of heroin, which she allegedly got from an inmate in Karachi prisons, where she was released after serving a one-year jail term. Dan-Frank also walked into the NDLEA net as he stepped out of the Kenyan Airways plane. And like Adekunbi, he had just completed a jail term in Karachi. Danburam said: "It is double offence for them. One, for being in possession of illicit drug and for scandalising Nigeria’s name abroad." Danburam spoke about other suspects, including 46-year-old Stella Ajani, Nwariri Emeka and Fadayomi Dada, who were nabbed on the same day as Adekunbi and Dan-Frank. He said they were travelling to Rome, Amsterdam and London respectively. According to him, Ajani excreted 830 grammes of cocaine, which she wanted to deliver to one Ngozi in Rome. "Ngozi lives in Napoli, Italy," Danburam said, adding that another suspect, Nwariri Emeka excreted 865 grammes of cocaine, which he was taking to Holland. Danburam warned Nigerians to be on guard as the Yuletide draws near because criminals, "especially drug dealers are ready to entice innocent citizens with big money in order to recruit them for the illicit trade."         HOME | ABOUT THE SUN | SPORTS | POLITICS | NEWS | COLUMNISTS | CONTACT US I ADVERT RATE © 2004 THE SUN PUBLISHING LTD.
