.
Two Nigerian men have lost their lives after the drugs they swallowed burst during a flight from Brazil to Ethiopia.
.
.
The
deceased, identified as Chigozie Pascal Aniagbado and Chijioke Chidioka
Ogbuefi, died before an emergency landing, despite the fact that CPR
was performed on them.
.
.
Narrating how it happened, an
eyewitness said: “I was in an Ethiopian Airline from Brazil to Ethiopia.
My seat number falls at the middle of two men.
.
.
The flight
was 12hrs. The young man at my right asked me to check the flight map to
know how far we had gone which I did. We were already half the journey.
.
.
Then
he said to me “do you speak Igbo,” I said “yes.” He said he doesn’t
know if he would make this journey that it seems the drugs he swallowed
must have exceeded its stay in his system.
.
.
Then my mind
sank. I began to shiver. He said ‘don’t be scared, it’s not in the bag,
it is inside my body.’ He said I should stand and get him water, but I
refused because I was scared he might insert something in my bag.
.
.
I
had to wave for the air hostess to come. She came and served him water.
He demanded for food, he was given. He became calm. Few minutes later,
he brought an olive oil from his bag and drank.
.
.
Then he
started shivering and fell down. That was when all the doctors in the
plane assembled, questioning, asking his country and tribe.
.
.
He was able to open up that he swallowed drugs. The doctors had to put him on oxygen, then the other also started shivering.
.
.
Because
of them, we were to have an emergency landing. The pilots said no
matter their crime, it’s their priority to keep them alive. However,
eventually lost the battle.
