NDLEA arrests Ugandan woman hiding 87 cocaine wraps in private part

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 34-year-old Ugandan woman, Farida Nansubuga, at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria, for attempting to smuggle 1.15 kilograms of cocaine into Uganda. Nansubuga was intercepted while attempting to board a flight to Uganda on November 3, 2026. The arrested wraps of cocaine were found hidden in her pelvic region, concealed beneath two layers of underwear.

According to the NDLEA, Nansubuga had arrived in Nigeria on October 29 with members of her church for a prayer session. After the session, she stayed behind to collect the cocaine consignment on behalf of a friend named Joy, who lives in Uganda. The suspect claimed she was instructed to hide the drugs in her private part to avoid airport security screening.
