Abada, who allegedly excreted the substance under the close watch of officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, was arrested at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Rivers State.

The NDLEA Commander, Port Harcourt International Airport, Mr. Olutekunbi Davies, said the 54-year-old widow was arrested on May 23, 2012, as she was trying to board a Lufthansa Airline on her way to London via Frankfurt.

Davies explained that Adaba was immediately taken to the Military Hospital where an X-ray scanner proved that she had ingested 839 grammes of cocaine.

He said that 58 wraps of the substance were excreted by the suspected drug trafficker within three days of her arrest.

Davies said, "On May 23, 2012, at about 8:30pm, a female drug suspect, Mrs. Adaba Onitemi Sekinatu '54,' was arrested while attempting to board a Lufthansa Airline on her way to London via Frankfurt.

"She was taken to the Military Hospital in Port Harcourt where the X-ray scanner used on her proved positive for ingestion of substance suspected to be cocaine. She has since excreted 58 wraps weighing 839 grammes."

Davies explained that the X-ray scanning machine installed by the NDLEA at the Port Harcourt International Airport was removed as a result of the ongoing construction work at the airport.

He, however, warned that the removal of the machine from the airport would not stop his men from spotting and arresting drug peddlers that wanted to use the airport to smuggle hard drugs to other countries.

Davies said that the machine would be installed after the completion of the ongoing renovation work at the airport.

He said the suspect would soon be prosecuted while the exhibits would be presented in court to demonstrate her culpability.

Though the suspect refused to speak with journalists, an NDLEA official said Adaba claimed that this was her first time of dealing in the illicit business.

Adaba had told officials of the agency that she was lured into drug trafficking by a friend at a party in Lagos after she lost her husband.

Mrs Onitemi, 54 and a widow was arrested while attempting to board a London-bound Lufthansa Airline, following suspicion by operatives of the NDLEA at the Airport about 8:30p.m on May 23.

NDLEA Commander, Port Harcourt International Airport, Olutekunbi Davies, who disclosed this to journalists on Wednesday, said the suspect was taken to the military hospital in the state capital where she was found to have ingested the substance.

"On May 23 , 2012, at about 8:30p.m, a female drug suspect, Mrs Adaba Sekinatu Onitemi, 54, was arrested while attempting to board a Lufthansa Airline on her way to London via Frankfurt.

"She was taken to Military Hospital Port Harcourt where the X-ray scanner used on her proved positive for ingestion of substances suspected to be cocaine. She has since then excreted 58 wraps weighing 839grammes," Davies said.

The NDLEA commander disclosed that the substance would be valued about N10million, pointing out that no fewer than three drug suspects had been arrested in similar circumstances at the airport in the last two years.

Speaking further, Davies explained that the agency had pulled out its detecting machines at the airport due to ongoing renovation work at the airport, saying the situation had posed some challenges in tracking drug peddlers, but noted that its operatives were well trained to rise to any given occasion.

Davies further disclosed that suspected drug peddlers now concealed such illicit items in processed food cans to avoid being detected, which was why the agency was using sniffer dogs, saying, "the present chairman of the NDLEA has zero tolerance for compromise and any of our men found wanting will be shown the way out."

Although, the suspect maintained a studied silence when newsmen attempted to get her comments, an operative of the NDLEA, who claimed had chatted with her, told newsmen that 54-year old Mrs Onitemi was a mother of six and that she lost her husband in 1999.

60% of the crimes committed by Nigerians inside and outside are done by my own brothers, Igbos, and Yorubas (in this latter case both males and females) in equal measure.
Fortunately, 80% of the good attributes exhibited by Nigerians inside and outside of the country are possessed by these same two populations

And 99% of crimes committed in Nigeria are by Hausas/Fulanis abi? Oloshi

Of the remaining 40% of crime, 20% are committed by the Hausa Fulani. The rest are by Edo/Delta, Calabar (AKS and CRS peoples)and Kwara/Kogi/Benue and Plateau peoples

Unfortunately, the Hausa/Fulani contribute 0% of the good stuff in the country.

FSU: Of the remaining 40% of crime, 20% are committed by the Hausa Fulani. The rest are by Edo/Delta, Calabar (AKS and CRS peoples)and Kwara/Kogi/Benue and Plateau peoples

Unfortunately, the Hausa/Fulani contribute 0% of the good stuff in the country.

mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

And of course 90% of the terrorist acts in Nigeria are committed by the Hausa Fulani and Kanuri. The rest 10% by Niger Delta (mainly Ijaw militants)

Beaf FSU

Stop hiding under FSU to post your ethnocentric threads.. You're a tribalist, and we know that already..

shymmex: Beaf FSU

Stop hiding under FSU to post your ethnocentric threads.. You're a tribalist, and we know that already..

Do I look/sound like beaf? What is tribalist about this post when I, as an Igbo, have indicted my own people? Are you gone bunkers?

@fsu, ur a fool, if ur here to make a comment, then do it instead of passing ur useless judgements0and tribalism. This is how u derail threads with tribalism. I wont be surprised if ur nairaland staff inciting tribalism to increase the no of hits . PLS EVERYBODY SHOULD IGNORE THIS FSU MUMU

It is a shame that every bad thing on the face of the earth is associated with or has Nigerians involved: Drug trafficking, greed, bribery, corruption, materialism, kidnapping, tribalism, religious fanatism, terrorism, sexism, domestic violence, paedophilia, poor governance, abuse of resources, dishonesty, 419 scam, poverty, lack of infrastructure, lack of proper healthcare, wickedness, hate. Agh! I give up. I should go and check my DNA. Maybe, just maybe, the results will come back and say that I was not brought into this wicked world by a Nigerian man and woman after all. Wishful thinking.

@dasparrow, all u said we know but the question is what should be done about it. The problem of nigeria is the problem of leadership as the fish rots from the head but one thing i know is that a youthfull revolution will cure all this ills. The fuel subsidy protest proved that the only thing remaining for such a revolution is a honest leader cos that protest might have turned into the revolution we need if not that it was betrayed by the labour leadership
