Bassey, a native of Oron Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, was arrested following the interception of Eno at the departure hall of the Lagos airport.

 

This was contained in a statement signed by the NDLEA Director of Media Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, on Sunday.

 

The statement partly read, “Bassey, 29, was arrested on Wednesday, July 6, following the interception of Eno at the departure hall of the Lagos airport.

“When Eno’s luggage was searched, 50 parcels of cannabis (2.80kg) concealed in food items were discovered, while there were discrepancies between the age she declared and the date of birth on her international passport.

 

“Further interview reveals that the human trafficker who recruited and brought her to the airport, Mathew Bassey, was still lurking around the airport, waiting for her departure. He was promptly tracked and arrested.

 

“Investigations showed that the victim, who hails from the same Oron LGA of Akwa Ibom State, like Bassey, recently lost her mother and as a result made it easy for Bassey to recruit her with the promise of securing her a job in Dubai, UAE.

“It was further discovered that the recruiter leveraged on the victim’s naivety and planted drugs in her bag for onward delivery to his contact in Dubai.”

According to Dr. Egemba, popularly known as ‘Aproko Doctor’, wearing too-tight jeans and boxers could have detrimental effects on the scrotum and affect sperm production.  

Dr. Egemba stated this in a new post on his Instagram page @aproko_doctor.

He said most men probably wear tight clothing because they want to gather heat and feel warm down there, adding that men who wear tighter underwear may have problems with sperm production.

Dr. Egbemba said, “There is a reason your scrotum is outside your body. It is outside your body because your testicles require a lower temperature than the rest of your body to produce sperm.

“It is that tight brief you want to go and wear? Or is it the skinny jeans you want to go and wear? … that may be affecting your sperm production.”

The physician advised men to wear freer clothes that allow the scrotum to dangle and breathe. 

He said, “For optimal sperm production, don’t tight your scrotum hold body, let it be free.”

Dr. Egbamba also cautions men against constantly using a laptop on their lap, noting that it could also hamper sperm production.

According to an online health portal, Healthline, “Wearing tight underwear can be uncomfortable, and in some cases, may have adverse effects on your health.

“For people with penises, wearing tight underwear can push the scrotum against the body, causing the testes to rise in temperature. Some research has shown this to correlate with a lower sperm count. If you’re trying to conceive, it may be a good idea to switch to boxers.

“The thought is that wearing tight underwear increases the temperature of the scrotum (much like going into a hot tub or placing a laptop on your lap), which affects the body’s production of sperm.

“Boxers may be a better choice for people trying to have children in the foreseeable future, but there doesn’t appear to be any adverse effects from wearing clingy briefs for those who don’t have parental aspirations,” it said.
