The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Monday announced the arrest of a London-based Nigerian woman with some substance that tested positive to cocaine.
A statement signed by NDLEA spokesman, Mitchel Ofoyeju, said that the woman was arrested at the weekend with the substance weighing 1.53kg, during the screening of passengers on Arik flight to London.
The agency said the suspect, Ifeoma Ethel, ingested 20 wraps of the substance weighing 300 grammes while 54 wraps weighing 1.23 kg were packed and worn by her as diaper.
Ofoyeju quoted the NDLEA Airport Commander, Hamza Umar, as describing her action as shameful.
Drug trafficking is a shameful act. It is a criminal offence and those caught are put to shame.
Ofoyeju said the suspect would soon be charged to court.
