A lady, who wanted to make quick money through cocaine trafficking
has been arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport
(MMIA), Lagos by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency (NDLEA).
The suspect, 28-year-old Omakaro Joy ingested 60 wraps of
cocaine and inserted eight wraps into her private part for
onward export to Spain.
According to the Commander of the NDLEA MMIA, Victor Cole-Showers,
the lady confessed to have been given the “cargo”
by one John Benin in Benin, the Edo State capital.
The Edo State-born courier said her parents were unaware of
her plans to get into the deadly business.
The NDLEA commander further stated that Joy was arrested on
Tuesday night while trying to board Iberia Airlines.
He said the lady will be kept under close observation until
she excretes all the cocaine swallowed before facing legal
actions.
In a related development, the command also picked up three
other suspects.
One of them, Emmanuel Okoye was arrested on Wednesday afternoon
on the verge of boarding Ethiopian Airlines to India after
concealing 542 grams of cocaine in his slippers.
The commander, while stressing that his team will not rest
on its oars until the drug war is won, warned all real and
potential culprits of drug trafficking to desist from the
bad act or face unpalatable consequences.
