A 26-year-old female suspected drug courier has been arrested by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for alleged unlawful possession and attempt to export 1.050 kilogrammes of substances that tested positive for cocaine at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA) Abuja.
Fourteen (14) of the wraps were discovered to have been stuffed into her private parts while 44 other wraps were ingested by her in a desperate bid to earn 1,000 Euros.Reacting to her arrest, the NDLEA Airport Commander Alhaji Hamza Umar cautioned drug traffickers to stop abusing their bodies. Hamza said that it is dehumanizing for anybody to either ingest or insert narcotic drugs.
“It is amazing the way drug couriers treat themselves with disdain. They must understand that this is sheer cruelty and it has to stop,” the Commander warned.
The suspect, arrested on July 3rd works in Spain as a cleaner. The suspect who hails from Asaba in Delta State is the only female among eight suspected drug traffickers so far arrested at the Abuja airport in July 2008.
