The pressure to have a big, flamboyant wedding has landed a
Nigerian man in big trouble. MChike
Pauline, 40, was arrested at Murtala Muhammed International Airport
(MMIA) in Lagos, after being caught with one kilogramme of substance suspected
to be methamphetamine, Vanguard reports.
He was apprehended during the outward screening of passengers on a Rwanda
Air flight.
During
preliminary investigations, Pauline told National Drug Law Agency (NDLEA)
officials that he had been lured into drug trafficking because of his
desperation to raise money for his wedding coming up in December this year.
This was what she wrote..
“I am a patent medicine dealer in Aba, Abia State.
My arrest is very unfortunate because I am a hardworking person. I was deceived
into drug trafficking because I was desperate to perform my marriage ceremony
by the end of the year. I was optimistic that I will not be arrested, but
things did not go according to my expectation. What must I do to set myself
free from this predicament?”
He
reportedly begged the officials not to imprison him, as he still intends to
conduct his wedding in December. The case is currently under investigation.
