Okey Bakassi said:
“When I came to Lagos as a young man, I was tempted by different people in so many ways. And I’m talking about fraudsters and drug dealers.
“I was approached. When you are in entertainment, you will be approached to peddle drugs. I have been approached overseas, I have been approached in Nigeria by drug dealers
They will just show up in your hotel and talk business. They will tell you other people who are doing it and making money. But it is dangerous.
