Unemployed UNILAG graduate builds 2 houses, buys car from smuggling Indian hemp

A 38-year-old graduate of the University of Lagos, Gafar Ademolake has revealed what pushed him into smuggling of cannabis into Nigeria.

Ademolake who claimed to be a graduate of International Relations, UNILAG, Akoka Yaba area of Lagos, said being unemployed after his service year led him into the business.

He explained that after his graduation and NYSC, he waited for about three years at home, doing nothing, before a friend, who was already into the business, introduced him to it.

After being apprehended for the alleged smuggling of substances suspected to be Indian hemp, Ademolake said he had just recently invested N10million and had already wired the money to the courier called Iya Ghana, living at Mile 2 area of Lagos.

When asked what he had achieved since he started the business, Ademolake said: “I have built two houses, and I have a car. I’m comfortable.”
