On November 18, 1992, agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the United States Customs Service arrested Musa Jack Gowon, a/k/a Jack Spencer, for conspiring to import in excess of one kilogram of heroin. His arrest followed an intensive investigation into the recruitment of individuals in the Dallas area to smuggle heroin from source countries,1 such as Thailand or Burma, via non-source countries, such as Switzerland or Austria.
He was found guilty by a jury and was sentenced to 324 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release. See the full details HERE
Edith Ike Okongwu (of blessed memory) had a steamy affair with ex head of state General Yakubu Gowon and their affair resulted in the conception and birth of Musa. Edith lived with Gowon during the war till his people kicked her out for flimsy reasons and took young Musa away from her. She relocated to America but Many years later, she kidnapped him on a visit to Nigeria and took him back to America.
That move was probably wrong because young Musa became rebellious and didn't approve of his mothers single and flamboyant lifestyle. To make matters worse,His dad Yakubu Gowon had allegedly cut him off for as long as he was with his mum. Musa eventually became One of the highest ranking member/ business partner of a Colombian drug cartel.He lived a rich and flamboyant lifestyle until he was caught.
During his trial,the he was offered a deal to rat on the people he worked with but he refused and there was outrage,his people were angry with him for not betraying the people he worked with but young Musa argued that if he talked they would fish him out even in jail and snuff him out.he kept sealed lips and in 1993 in his early twenties,he was sentenced to jail..hard labour.
The funny thing is that Musa got into trouble,trying to get acceptance from his people and win his father's love And when he was making money and spending it,he got the acceptance…albeit briefly….but was abandoned for slinging his family name in the mud.
Musa was 45 years old this year and he is still in jail but will be released next year 2014 after spending 20years in jail,whilst he was in jail,his mum passed on....
he will be released in a few months and deported back to the land he was born....Nigeria.
he will be released in a few months and deported back to the land he was born....Nigeria.
Musa asked his brother to open a Facebook page in his name because he wants to locate his family members and old friends.

"*Musa,i hope you get to read this blog from jail in your free time.I am glad you realise your mistakes,it is only God that Judges ultimately,i pray he keeps you till next year when you come to the warm embrace of your mothers family and true friends who have missed you greatly....May God keep you.I hope you will organise seminars to teach people that if you do the crime,you will do the time as well."-Stella

Its good that he learnt from his mistakes and cautions others not to do crime. He's a more mature adult now and he has a second chance to do something productive with his life.
