A businesswoman Okolonkwo Ebere Theresa has been arrested for concealing illicit drug in her underwear while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, Qatar.
She was taken into custody on Sunday 14th September after Aviation Security Officers of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), in collaboration with National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) operatives attached to the screening point of terminal 2 of the Lagos airport.
This is contained in a statement issued by the spokesperson of the NDLEA Femi Babafemi on Sunday.
“After a thorough search, two big parcels of white crystalline substance that later tested positive to methamphetamine with a gross weight of 1.40 kilograms were recovered from her butt pad underwear.
“During preliminary interview with Ebere, she claimed she trades in used clothing and also operates a POS business in Enugu where she was recruited into the illicit drug business,” the statement said.
The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa, commended the officers and men of the agency for the various successful operations.
He enjoined them and their colleagues across the country to continue with the ongoing balanced approach to the drug control efforts of the Agency.
