WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Lagos – The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) is set to give a shocker to political office seekers in next year’s general election, as the anti-drug agency has compiled a list of drug barons who are into politics.

A competent official in the NDLEA told LEADERSHIP in a telephone interview on Sunday that the list is ready.

The source added that the list contains names of political office seekers which the agency’s undercover report fingered in illicit drug or money laundering.

It was gathered that already the agency is in liaison with its foreign counterparts also to get names of Nigerians who may have been indicted in drug business abroad but are parading the streets in Nigeria as role models.

“We want to make it emphatically clear that next year’s election is not for all comers. We want to conduct cleansing at various level of governance in this country.”

The top brass of NDLEA who pleaded for anonymity stated further that, the “hard list” would be forwarded to each of the political parties. “So when they have the list and see the name or names of their candidate, they are expected to ask such candidates to forget their ambitions or be disgraced by the NDLEA.”

Chairman of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, however, declined to give more details but stated that the anti-drug outfit, is watching the unfolding political scenario in country keenly.

Meanwhile, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has apprehended the first suspected drug traffickers from Philippines at the weekend, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.

The suspect, Alla Kouassi Alphonse (35) who is believed to be a professional drug trafficker with established contacts in Thailand and China tested positive to drug ingestion at the weekend during inward screening of Emirate passengers from the Philippines. Some wraps of the powdery substance that he ingested have tested positive to cocaine.

This is the first time a passenger coming from the Philippines will be arrested with drugs at the Lagos Airport.

Chairman of NDLEA Ahmadu Giade, described the arrest as a warning to drug traffickers.

According to the NDLEA boss, no route is safe for the criminal trade. “We are adequately prepared to apprehend drug traffickers and seize their drugs. This arrest is a strong warning to drug traffickers that no route is safe for them. We shall remain on the alert because as they are changing their routes, we are equally perfecting our control techniques” Giade warned.
