He was attempting to board an Air France
flight to Italy at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos.
NDLEA Commander for the Lagos Airport, Hamza Umar said “We
have made the first arrest in the new year. The suspect, a guitarist by
name Fatoke Abiodun was found with 1.575kg of cocaine. The drug was
discovered in the false bottom of his luggage during the outward
screening of passengers to Italy.”
He is quoted to have said “I played
for King Sunny Ade for 30 years before I was unceremoniously retired in
2007. I was unprepared and without severance money I saw the bitter side
of life…Because at my age I could not provide for my family. I am
ashamed of myself.”
