Summary: Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a Nigerian-British grandma is arrested by the NDLEA for hiding 13kg of cocaine in plantain peels. The details will shock you.
The things we are witnessing in this country are simply too much to comprehend. Just when you think you have seen it all, another story breaks that completely blows your mind.
Can you imagine? A 67-year-old grandmother, a Nigerian-British citizen who is supposed to be enjoying her retirement and playing with her grandchildren, has been arrested! And for what, you ask? For drug trafficking!
Operatives of our ever-vigilant National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) nabbed this grandmother, and the discovery is something that will leave you speechless. They found a staggering 13 kilograms of cocaine with her.
Now, this is where the story turns into a Nollywood script. Where did she hide this massive amount of cocaine? Inside her bag? Taped to her body? No, my brothers and sisters. This grandmother got creative in the most shocking way.
She hid the drugs inside PLANTAIN PEELS!
Yes, you read that right. The same plantain you use for your sweet dodo or to make plantain chips. That was the ‘packaging’ for 13 kilos of cocaine. The sheer audacity! The level of calculation to peel plantain, stuff it with hard drugs, and seal it back up… The devil works hard, but some hustlers are working overtime.
You have to give massive kudos to the NDLEA operatives. Their eyes were wide open and highly alert to have spotted such a thing. Imagine the conversation: ‘Boss, check this plantain very carefully, it looks like this fried plantain has an extra ingredient.
This is a serious reminder that when it comes to crime, age is just a number. It doesn’t matter if you are 16 or 67; if you do the crime, you will do the time. This should serve as a big lesson for anyone thinking of getting into this kind of dangerous business. The hustle is real, but let’s not use our own hands to cut firewood that will end up burning us.
What do you guys think? Is this desperation or just pure greed? Let us know your thoughts.
