Tit Bits: Nigerian Ambassador, A Drug Baron
ONE of the ambassadors recently posted out of the
country by the Federal Government has been discovered
to be an ex-convict as well as drug baron.
An impeccable presidency source which disclosed this
in Abuja said that the embattled envoy might soon be
recalled home once the matter was brought to the
notice of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The ambassador (name withheld), was posted to one of
the European countries known to be in the forefront of
democracy in the world.
