A Ugandan woman, Farida Nansubuga, 34, was arrested at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos with 87 wraps of cocaine concealed inside her private parts. The arrest occurred on Tuesday, November 3, while she was attempting to board a flight to Uganda. The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) intercepted her during a joint passenger screening exercise with aviation security personnel.
After a body search, officers found the cocaine strapped around her pelvic region beneath two layers of underwear. Nansubuga, who arrived in Nigeria on October 29 with church members for a prayer session, claimed she remained behind to collect the drug consignment on behalf of a friend. She allegedly received the cocaine from a man at a hotel and planned to deliver it for $1,000.
The agency also seized 750,000 tablets of Tapentadol 250mg, valued at N900 million, and 32 parcels of cannabis weighing 16.15 kilogrammes concealed in wooden sofas from the United States.
