A Nigerian drug lord has been sentenced to prison after tricking elderly individuals into smuggling methamphetamine into the United Kingdom. The criminals concealed the illegal drugs inside sweets, making detection by authorities challenging.
The victims, many of whom were older adults, had no knowledge that they were carrying dangerous narcotics. Authorities have described the drug lord’s tactics as “callous,” taking advantage of vulnerable people to sustain his drug trafficking network.
This case sheds light on a new smuggling method used by criminals and the significant risks posed to innocent individuals who unknowingly become involved. Law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to dismantle such networks and safeguard the public from similar exploitation.
