months. I have suffered trying to make
ends meet in Brazil. I got involved in drug
trafficking so as to start a legitimate
business. I expected to have made N2.5
million from the deal.
Unfortunately, my partner who would have
collected the drug in Dubai failed to show
up so I had to come to Nigeria with the
drug. That was not the original plan. This
is a bad luck and I feel so sad”.

made a big mistake. I pray my woman will
find a place in her heart to forgive me. I
feel I am under a spell” he stated.
