The box of chocolates that stole my freedom

Be warned. Don’t lose your life for the drug lords who may use all kinds of tricks to make you carry their drugs from country to country.

Regardless of what the circumstances, once you are found to have drugs in your possession, you will be detained and remanded in custody usually indefinitely. Once this happens, you will have already lost your life and freedom. And if you were convicted, it may even be for life.

When you travel, think carefully when you accept parcels from anyone whether they are your friends or relatives and particularly from strangers. If you must accept, open up the parcel and check the contents until you are satisfied that there is no illegal substance before you accept the parcel.

When you travel, think carefully when you accept parcels from anyone…

This is a reminder to all travellers whether you are travelling on business or vacation.

In my case, I accepted a present given to me. I failed to check the chocolates which were found by the customs to contain drugs within the chocolates, hence I have landed in prison awaiting trial.

So be warned.

God bless you all.
