A Ugandan woman, Farida Nansubuga, aged 34, was apprehended by National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) officials at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. She was preparing to board a flight to Uganda when she was discovered attempting to smuggle 1.15 kilograms of cocaine. The narcotics were hidden in her private parts, concealed beneath two layers of underwear.
Nansubuga, a member of a church delegation, had arrived in Nigeria on October 29 to attend a prayer session at the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos. After the session, she stayed behind to collect a consignment of cocaine arranged for her by a contact in Nigeria to be delivered to her friend, Joy, who resides in Uganda. NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, revealed that the suspect expected a payment of at least $1,000 for her role in the illegal operation.
The incident highlights the lengths drug cartels will go to exploit religious activities and travel for their illicit activities.
