Elabor Francis; Nwachia Hypolitus, Innocent Omorogie, Omozua Emmanuel Omoruyi,Tommiwa Kolly Jas, Ogunsanwo Ogunniran, etc

The Chairman and Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Ahmadu Giade has warned Nigerians deported from the United States on drug related offences not to rubbish the image of the country.
He gave the warning when 19 deported drug peddlers that arrived at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) last Thursday were picked up by the Agency and transferred to its headquarters in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The deportees were Elabor Francis, 68; Nwachia Hypolitus, 48; Innocent Omorogie, 35; Omozua Emmanuel Omoruyi, 26; Tommiwa Kolly Jas, 40; Ogunsanwo Ogunniran, 29; Ani Humphrey Chiedozi, 50; Lawal Shamsudeen, 49; Akinsola Rashida Olayinka, 46 and Adebayo Emmanuel, 46. The others were Amadi Okechukwu Mummee, 55; Aduleja Anthony, 53; Ojomu Babatunde, 29; Oyetunji Oyediran, 47; Anyaegbu Chukwubuike, 45; Ezebuike Princewill, 46; Sofunwa Albert Olatunji, 54; Shennaike Adegoke Adebayo, 48 and Oragbon Michael Osai, 43.
"There are Nigerians that have made the country proud in the United States; we will therefore resist any attempt for a select few to indulge in ignoble acts such as drug trafficking," Giade said.
Preliminary investigation report conducted by the NDLEA showed that the deportees had served various jail terms ranging from five months to sixteen years.
Among the deportees, six are from Lagos State while three are from Edo and Imo states respectively. Two are from Ogun State while Anambra, Enugu, Ekiti, Kwara and Oyo states have one each.

I am dumbfounded at the headline on google news listing Oragbon Michael Osai as one of the deportees from United States of America due to Drug trafficking. this is very sad as it is only in a country like Nigeria that one can find that people just pick up their pen and write news items without verifying their sources and painfully they do not bother to check properly to avoid deforming innocent people's character.
It is a shame that Oragbon Michael Osai's name has been added to the names of drug offenders as reported in www.naijarules.com, allafrica.com, odili.net and several other online news sources. It is a big shame and if you must all know, Oragbon Michael Osai has never lived in the United States of America, neither was he repatriated from the United States due to drug trafficking.
