The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested two suspects for large shipments of cocaine and cannabis in various states across Nigeria. Qhina Beauty, a 34-year-old South African woman, was apprehended at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, carrying 36.65 kilograms of cocaine concealed in seven separate parcels.
She was found guilty of attempting to board a flight to South Africa via Doha with the illicit drugs concealed with dried pepper. The suspect informed the authorities of her arrival in Nigeria on September 30 to collect the consignment and identified two other alleged members of the syndicate, one based in the United States and another a car dealer in Lagos.
Meanwhile, Anetor Gloria Ubong, a 62-year-old Nigerian-American grandmother based in Texas, was arrested at the Lagos airport with 9.45 kilograms of high-grade cannabis. The drugs were concealed in gift-wrapping paper inside a box. She admitted that her daughter and the daughter's future brother-in-law delivered the package to her home in the US, which was then forwarded to Nigeria to her daughter's fiancé.
