Emehelu, who hails from Enugu said,

    “I am married with four children. I left Nigeria a year ago for Brazil. As a result of my poor living condition in Brazil, I spent one year without seeing my family in Nigeria.
    “I accepted to smuggle cocaine for a N1.2m fee. I wanted to use the money to establish a business for my wife, who has been struggling to take care of my family since I left Nigeria.”

Christopher a baker also explained he smuggled cocaine because he needed money.He said,

    “I would have made N2m from this trip. I was supposed to smuggle the drugs to Nigeria and share the proceeds with my sponsor.
    “Unfortunately, I could only swallow five wraps because I was vomiting the drugs. They were disappointed in me for swallowing only five wraps. I regret getting involved in drug trafficking.”
