This man must really hate his daughter!

A Nigerian granddad has been arrested for trying to smuggle drugs to his daughter in Dubai, Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) announced on Sunday. 

The 63-year-old was taken into custody at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA) in Ikeja Lagos, Nigeria. 

NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi said the suspect has confessed to concealing cannabis inside a black native soap which was part of a shipment to his daughter who lives in Dubai. 

“He also admitted this was his second attempt at sending such illicit substance to his daughter,” said Babafemi. 

A Nigerian freight agent has been separately arrested for attempting to export 250grams of Tramadol and cannabis to Dubai. 

The UAE has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drug trafficking.
