A 37-year-old mother of three, Ezeh Ifeoma
Maureen, has been arrested with substances
suspected to be cannabis by the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
She was caught at the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos,
during outward screening of China-bound
Ethiopian Airlines passengers for allegedly
attempting to smuggle 6.200 kilogrammes of
dried weeds that tested positive for cannabis.
The agencys Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza
Umar, said the suspect told the officers that her
bags contained vegetables and foodstuff.
She declared the content of her bags as
vegetables and foodstuff, but during a search,
the vegetables turned out to be cannabis
weighing 6.200 kilogrammes. The drug was
packed in two parcels.
The suspect, who hails from Anambra State, said:
I am a business woman; I sell womens clothes at
the Onitsha main market. I usually export
foodstuff to China and import female dresses to
Nigeria. One of my customers in China called to
tell me that his brother would give me two
parcels of vegetables to bring to him. I collected
the parcels at the airport from the boy.
Unfortunately, when they tested them, I was told
that they contained cannabis.
Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Ahmadu
Giade, advised the public to learn from the cases
of those arrested for drug trafficking. This mother
of three children would have been killed in China
for drug trafficking if she was not apprehended
here. It is important for the public to learn from
her experience and shun drug trafficking, he said.
Giade warned passengers not to collect items
from people, who will not be there during a
search.
The suspect, Giade said, would be charged to
court for unlawful possession of, and attempt to
export cannabis.
