“I was frustrated. When you are frustrated, you can do
anything. I took a risk, but I was not lucky. Life is about
taking risk. It is either you win or you lose. I have worked and
suffered as a labourer in Doha for two years and I was
desperate to change my status. I don’t regret my action.” –

trafficking, adding that he was tricked into the act by his
friend.
“I buy and sell clothes. I lived in Spain for about a decade. I
came back to Nigeria because of financial hardship. I loved to
go back to Spain and I did not have enough money. This was
how I found myself in drug trafficking.” – said 32-year-old
