Couple Uses Six-Year-Old Twins To Smuggle Cocaine

To traffick cocaine out of the country using their six-year old twins, have been apprehended.
Announcing the arrest of the duo - Jimoh Bashir and Jimoh Milikat - at the weekend, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) disclosed that the couple will be charged for child abuse and drug trafficking, as it described the act by the parents as a complete show of contempt on the rights of their children.
Mitchell Ofoyeju, spokesperson for the agency, disclosed that Mr. Bashir allegedly connived with his wife to conceal 350g of cocaine each on the diaper of their twins on their way to London.
“Both parents and their kids were apprehended as they were about boarding an Arik Air flight to London last week, and the wife concealed 3.35kg on her body with some on her bra and some in her underwear,” he said.
“The innocent six-year old twins were also used in packing 700g of illicit drugs, which brought the total quantity of cocaine to 4.05kg.”
Condemning the act by the couple in a statement, the chairman of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, said that it is unlawful for the parents to take advantage of their children's innocence to involve them in a serious criminal act of drug trafficking.
“The action of the couple is callous, morally depraved, and unacceptable,” he said. “Apart from charging them on the grounds of drug trafficking, they will also be charged for child abuse, for no society will overlook such act of debasement.”
