Nigerian Woman Caught With 35 Pellets of Heroin In Her Stomach At Dulles Airport

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said they busted a woman for smuggling heroin into Dulles International Airport last month. The woman allegedly swallowed the drugs.

Sixty-one year old Olanrewaju Foashade Halimat arrived at Dulles from Ethiopia on September 22nd, according to a CBP press release.

Officials said they routinely conduct random inspection operations on arriving and departing passengers, looking for drugs, weapons, and other prohibited products.

During an interview with Halimat, who is from Nigeria, CBP officers allegedly found inconsistencies in her story. They later x-rayed her and discovered “foreign objects” inside her abdomen. At that time, they filed a criminal affidavit against her. Halimat passed those objects, which turned out to be 47 pellets of heroin, officials said. They weighed about 500 grams, with a street value of $35,000.

CBP officers turned Halimat and the heroin over to the U.S. Customs and Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigation agents. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is now prosecuting Halimat.

Ingesting narcotics pellets is a high-risk proposition which can lead to almost certain overdose if it breaches inside a carrier’s intestines, CBP officials said.

CBP said the charges and allegations in criminal complaints are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

It has always been in their nature, yarobas are shameless people. The bane of Nigeria

Sometime, I wonder why some people think like this. The world knows US Nigeria and not Igbo, Ijaw, Hausa, Yoruba etc.

^^
oh yeah,because she is yoruba,t is now Nigeria?d'u ilks think like this if the story were to be about an igbo?

Foolish old woman,probably wants to use d money to buy bleaching creams and attend Owambe parties starring Pasuma and OPC thugs

Wonder were this discussion will reach by now if it was the other way round, probably page18, nobody like tribalism be it Nigeria or any other country, b4 igbos were always the victim in anything about crime or politics, lands, indigenouship, you will see others criticizing  igbo here and there,Like we are the problem in Nigeria and they are saints is always like that till recently.

Where are the moderators?. Can you please change the title of this thread and move it to the right section?.

Am happy the YORUBA grand mother is caught, that however does not remove the notorious fact that more than 75% of nigeria drug couriers are of Igbo origin. No insult intended

All those posting p-oo of tribalism on this thread, whether Yohyoba , Ibo or Hausas should check themselves.

It is a simply a complex problem, as bad as it may sound. You are trying foolishly hard to prove to yourself you are a better tribe, and you are worse than Adolf Hitler. IMO.

I am more interested in the woman's story. What would make a 61 year old woman carry drugs?

1 in about 5000 yorouba is pardonable , can u say the same of some other tribe u & i know.

Who's gonna take the blame nw? Owambe,our leaders,her children or greed?

?

61years damn what a disgrace

Wonder what would made a 61 yr old grandma involved in drug trafficking? If it were to be a young man/woman, that is understandable at least, though i'm not in anyway encouraging drug trafficking. This irresponsible woman is a disgrace to her family and Nigeria as a whole. At 61 she is still doing drugs, who knows what she was into when she was younger?

Where are those Yoruba warriors Ileke-Idi and her brother Bluetooth abi Red-tooth come and see what your grandma don't do ooo!!

I'm surprised this thread has not gotten to page 7 yet. Just because its not an Igbo person this time.

If we dig deeper into this story, I won't be surprised if the woman is an igbo woman with just a yoruba name. no offense

Stop exposing your ignorance. You're indeed a big f.o.o.l. If the woman were to be Igbo, Igbos would gladly admit it, but since she is Yoruba, you are here spewing crap 'bout she being an Igbo woman with Yoruba name. You guys will never take responsibility for anything. Mind u, i'm not Igbo.

Igbos, ijaws, hausas, Tivs, etc no dey carry the thing?
