The Nigerian National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,
said it has arrested a woman, Chinelo Okorom Lynnette, hiding substance
suspected to be cocaine in her private part.
Chinelo, a Lagos-based food vendor, was apprehended at the
Lagos airport while returning from Ethiopia where she reportedly ‘loaded’ the ‘consignment’.
According to the NDLEA report, the items weighing 685
grammes were discovered on the 36-year-old suspect during inward screening of
passengers.
She was said to have claimed being deceived into drug
trafficking under the guise of importing female bags.
Chinelo told NDLEA officials that she and her four children
were abandoned by her husband, adding that she had to work hard to cater for
herself, the children and their needs.
She allegedly explained further that sometime, a man
appeared in her life and promised to introduce her to importation business.
The man in question reportedly sponsored her trip to Ethiopia
where he demanded her to transfer cocaine to Nigeria.
According to her, she initially disagreed, but later caved
in when the man threatened to recover his investment at all cost.
The NDLEA has said Chinelo would soon be prosecuted.
