When he (Seibokuro) and six other suspects
were paraded by the NDLEA last Friday,

the illegal business in order to take care of his
five children and three wives.
The suspect, who said he was also a fisherman,
said because of his large family, his income from
fishing was no longer adequate hence he started
selling drugs to cope with family pressure.

fishing is no longer able to take care of my large
family," Seibokuro said.
