Adikad Adedoyim Owuolabi, unemployed, has been charged with possession of narcotic drugs and attempted exportation's of narcotic drugs. The court, presided over by Mr Justice Charles Quist, did not take her plea and remanded her to reappear on September 29.

Mr Richard Adazabra, a State Attorney, told the court that the accused person was travelling to London on board an Emirates flight on September 4, this year.

While the accused was going through boarding formalities, officials of the Narcotics Control Board (NACOB) suspected that she was carrying drugs hence subjected her to a body search. The search led to the discovery of three parcels of whitish substances concealed in her artificial wig.

The prosecution said when a field test was conducted, substances weighing two kilogram were found on her. When she was interrogated, she stated that the drugs were given to her by one Daniel of Madina to be given to one Alhaji Aliu, aka Yaw, for a fee of 2,500 Euros.
