According to reports, the man was travelling to Barbados when he was intercepted by CANU officials who searched his suitcase.

A section of the man’s suitcase, which was partitioned by fibre-glass, a Capitol News report said, and beneath the fibre-glass covering the stated amount of illegal substance was discovered.

    Easy money is a hell of an addiction. Mules will always be available in a society where jobs are scarce.

    Whenever I read of cases like this I wonder when or if people ln Guyana will ever learn. I wish the TV companies in Guyana will show movies like “Tropical Snow” and “Maria Full of Grace”. I wish they would show episodes of the popular Bio channel documentary “Locked Up Abroad”.
    Although I care very much about Guyanese suffering untold hardships and grinding poverty at home, I will maintain that resorting to drug smuggling is definitely not the way to go. Every day at work I see many Guyanese suffering the penalties for resorting to crime. Whenever I have to sign body receipts and other documents for delivery of a Guyanese to other authorities for eventual deportation, IT HURTS.
