  • England football star kicked out of nightclub for taking cocaine

    England football star kicked out of nightclub for taking cocaine

    An England footballer was kicked out of a nightclub after he was caught snorting cocaine in the toilet, it has been revealed.

    The unidentified star was allegedly spotted by a Premier League teammate ‘doing a line’ in the toilets of a nightclub on a recent night out.

    A source claimed other teammates saw him emerging from the club’s toilets looking worse for wear and he was later bundled into the back of a cab by the manager – who thought he had simply ‘drunk too much’.

    ‘Everyone is talking about it,’ the insider told The Sun.

    ‘It wasn’t the club’s official Christmas party but a few drinks after a game and many of the players and manager were there.

    ‘One of the players saw him doing a line in the toilets then half an hour later he was all over the place. His jaw was working overtime and he was a mess.

    ‘He wasn’t just drunk. The gaffer was furious and got him out the back door and into a taxi thinking he had drunk too much.’

    The footballer had tested negative for drugs just a day before the incident, meaning he knew he was unlikely to be tested within the next few days and could ‘get away with it’, it is claimed.

    But the incident caused a rift within the dressing room.

    They said the team had been suffering from ‘bad results’ on the pitch and it had happened at ‘the worst possible time’.

    UK Anti-Doping is said to collect more than 5,000 samples from players last season, including almost 2,000 from Premier League players.

    In the 2016/17 season there were only 1,171 samples collected from Premier League clubs – with an increase of 820 last year alone.

  • NDLEA arrests two grandmothers with cocaine, heroin at Lagos airport

    NDLEA arrests two grandmothers with cocaine, heroin at Lagos airport

    The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested two grandmothers with narcotics at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, while on their way to the U.S and Saudi Arabia.

    ‎NDLEA spokesperson, Mr Mitchell Ofoyeju disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.

    He said the‎ suspects allegedly ingested 108 wraps of substances that tested positive for heroin and cocaine during outward screening of passengers at the MMIA, Lagos.

    He said that the‎ NDLEA commander at the Lagos airport, Ahmadu Garba gave the names of the suspected drug traffickers as Ebunoluwa Adebayo, 60, and Ayisat Amodu, 59.

    He said that Ebunoluwa was‎ found to have ingested 83 wraps of heroin weighing 1.105kg on her way to New York, U.S while Ayisat ingested 25 wraps of cocaine weighing 275 grammes on her way to Medina, Saudi Arabia. ‎

    Ofoyeju said that the women had‎ blamed their involvement in drug trafficking on financial hardship.

    He said preliminary investigation reveals that this is the first time a grandmother of 60 years will ingest a whopping 83 wraps of narcotics and noted that the second suspect was going to Saudi Arabia where drug trafficking attracts capital punishment.

    ‎‎”Adebayo Ebunoluwa Mercy was arrested while boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight to New York, while Amodu Ayisat was caught trying to board an Ethiopian airline flight on her way to Medina, Saudi Arabia,” he said.

    He said that‎ ‎Ebunoluwa, a divorcee sells provision at Ikorodu, Lagos while Ayisat sells food in Lagos.‎
    “I am a divorcee selling provision for survival. Things became rough and tough for me when I lost my capital due to family problems,” Ebunoluwa said‎.

    ‎‎‎”I was happy when they offered to sponsor my trip to Saudi Arabia but I never knew it will end in my detention,” Ayisat said.

    ‎He said that the‎ NDLEA Chairman, retired Col. Muhammad Abdallah assured that the agency would continue to work round the clock to root out drug traffickers in the country.

    ‎‎“This move by drug cartels to recruit grandmothers as mules is very disturbing, shocking and shameful.
    “The moral emptiness exhibited by the suspects must be condemned by all. A situation where grandmothers have become a bad influence on their children and grandchildren is highly regrettable,” Abdallah said.

  • India Airport: 90 Capsules of cocaine found in Nigerian man’s stomach

    India Airport: 90 Capsules of cocaine found in Nigerian man’s stomach

    The Nigerian man, identified as Okonkwo M Tony, was apprehended after he landed at the airport from Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.

    Tony was found with 90 capsules of cocaine in his stomach and was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) Delhi, India, by Narcotics Control Bureau sleuths, on Monday, February 6th.

    Tony was admitted to a hospital by the sleuths of the Delhi Zonal unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).

    Officials said he has ejected 90 cocaine-filled capsules weighing 1.3kg in two days. They said Tony had initially misled the sleuths saying he had come to India for business purpose while carrying a tourist visa.

    He was admitted to a hospital and after medical intervention, he ejected the drug-filled capsules. He told investigators that he had swallowed these at a guest house in Lagos and then reached Addis Ababa via Lome (Togo). He was apprehended as soon as he landed here from the Ethiopian capital,” an official said.

    The officials claimed Tony was supposed to hand over the drug capsules to another Nigerian national here, whom the agency has been trailing.

    Tony has been arrested under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

    This is the fourth case of seizure of cocaine by the NCB in Delhi in the last one month.
    They said the method of smuggling after swallowing the drug is not easy to detect as it is hard to identify any concealment inside the body
