The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) has prevented a 38-year-old mother of
2 children, Obudike Faith Ndidiamaka, from
execution in China where drug trafficking
attracts capital punishment.
This followed her arrest by anti-narcotic
officers at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport Lagos during outward
screening of passengers on Kenyan Airways
flight to China. She was found with 1.155kgs of
cannabis hidden in melon.
NDLEA commander at the Lagos airport,
Ahmadu Garba said that the suspect, Obidike
concealed the drugs in melon and food stuff.
"She was caught while travelling to China with
1.155kg of compressed dried weeds that tested
positive for cannabis. Investigation into the
case is in progress and she will soon be charged
to court" Ahmadu stated.
The suspect who lives in Onitsha said that she
was contracted by her social media friend to
smuggle the drugs to China. "I am a trader. I
used to travel to China to buy my goods since
2014. My WhatsApp friend asked me to buy the
drug and take to China. He promised to give
me a handsome reward when I get to China.
Unfortunately, the drug was detected during
search at the Lagos airport. I am married with
two children" Obudike who hails from Imo
stated.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the Agency,
Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah who
condemned her action said that the Agency
needs fund to embark on aggressive anti-drug
public enlightenment. According to Abdallah,
"it is sad that while government is worried over
the number of Nigerians on death row in other
nations, a mother of two children is still
smuggling drugs to China where drug trafficking
is punishable by death. Her arrest here has
saved the country from embarrassment. It has
equally prevented her family from the pain of
losing a loved one under the circumstance. The
NDLEA will not relent in saving lives and
promoting the image of Nigeria".
The Chairman said that most Nigerians in
foreign prisons for drug trafficking did not
depart Nigeria with narcotics. "Most Nigerians
who are in foreign prisons for drug trafficking
did not take drugs from Nigeria. Some others
were lured with fake promises of job
opportunities by members of drug trafficking
organisations only to find themselves stranded
and vulnerable to drug trafficking. Those
travelling abroad in search of greener pastures
must have make adequate preparation for the
period they will stay and also possess requisite
technical skills. We are planning elaborate
public sensitisation campaign to address this
challenge" Abdallah stated.
