The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Nigeria said Monday it arrested a pharmacist-turned-politician who was trying to board a flight to Germany when a scanning machine detected an abnormality in his stomach.

It was discovered that he had allegedly swallowed 2 kilograms (nearly 4.5 pounds) of cocaine to fund his election campaign. The Nigerian agents reported they had found 100 packages inside his body.

He said he was financially ruined after he lost the last election, so evidently he didn’t care if he was dead if one of the packages ruptured. Quite a big chance to take! Qualifies as dumb.

Wsbtv.com reported that a woman from Canada was caught and sentenced to prison for smuggling cocaine through an Atlanta airport by carrying clothing soaked in cocaine. As authorities stopped her going through customs and noticed that the clothing inside one of her suitcases was unusually stiff to the touch. Evidently she had soaked the clothing and let it dry with the cocaine dried and embedded into the cloth. They later determined over three kilograms of cocaine had been soaked into various items of clothing.

As smart as people think they are and that they can get away with cocaine smuggling, it never works for long. As soon as it is caught somewhere then it is a known suspicion to be on the look out for.
