The Nigeria's anti-nacotic watchdog, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA), says that it has apprehended a professional tennis player, Mr Dairo Toyin, and a Lagos based business man, Mr. Okoliachu Chukwudi Augustine, over alleged drug dealing at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, (MMIA) Lagos.

Mr. Toyin is said to have been apprehended while allegedly attempting to board a British Airways flight to London. His final destination is said to be New York where he usually trains in preparation for a tournament.

The NDLEA says that the other suspect, Mr. Chukwudi was arrested at his house at Festac area of Lagos.

The NDLEA airport commander, Alhaji Hamza Umar adds that while Mr. Toyin hides under the cover of a sports man, Mr. Chukwudi presents himself as an importer of marbles and other building materials.

Toyin who began professional tennis career in 1996 has represented Nigeria in several Davis cup competitions. Notable among his international appearances are Italy in 2002, Senegal in 2004, Germany and Nigeria both in 2006.

The anti-drug agency says that during search of Mr. Chukwudi's residence, 2.3kg of substance that tested positive for cocaine was found inside a bag in one of his bedrooms.

Madness,after attaining such height,he still went and stoop so low,good lesson for others.He will spend the remaining days of his life playing tennis in prison.

The devil is to be blamed now, i think!

It is not the devil,it is obvious this guy was playing drugs while playing tennis,he must have escaped dozens of time and he now forgot to keep guard.It is also likely that he is a drug dealer even before he started playing tennis,which soever,end of the road for the fool.
