In a footage posted on Facebook, the man from Edo state, revealed that the drugs were inserted in the tubers of yam and covered with sand.
He said they were given to him to deliver to someone who needed them badly abroad. But he decided to wash the sand off the tubers not knowing what was inside.
He said: “When I saw sand on it I said we cannot carry sand to abroad that we must wash out the sand. As we were washing the sand we now detect water was coming out from up, meaning there’s hole inside. As we washed carefully we now see some needle. As we pulled everything, there was drug inside.”
“We thank God for the intelligence God has given to us for us to discover this kind of thing. This is something that could put you in jail. Men are wicked, we have to be careful,” he said, warning people to always check whatever they are given to deliver to someone while traveling abroad.
