The National Drug Law Enforcement has
apprehended a 38-year-old mother of three children
for attempting to smuggle 2.04kg Indian hemp to
South Africa. The hemp was said to have been
concealed in cartons of Knorr seasoning cubes.
According to a statement by NDLEA spokesperson,
Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, during investigation, the
suspect, [/b] Rashidat Abdulkarim, [b] accused her husband
who lives in South Africa of I'mplicating her.
The NDLEA airport commander, Mr. Hamza Umar,
said that weed was seized at the cargo section of
Nigeria Aviation Handling Company.
Umar was quoted as saying, “The seizure was made
during routine screening of goods at the cargo
section. During a search, 2.04kg of cannabis was
found to be concealed in a carton of Knorr seasoning.
“Other items in the luggage are local textiles and
herbal medicines. The consignor was immediately
arrested following the discovery of the cannabis.”
Rashidat who sells female shoes and hand bags said
she is still in shock that cannabis was found in the
consignment sent to her by the husband.
“I am in shock and pain that my husband is behind
my problem. My husband sent N28,000 to me to buy
locally made textiles. He also told me that one man
will bring food seasoning and herbal medicines to
me. I bought the textiles and added it to the
seasoning bought by the man. On getting to the
airport, drug was found inside the carton of
seasoning. I am so sad and disappointed,” Rashidat,
who hails from Lagos State,said in her statement.
She also expressed worry over the welfare of her
children.
Rashidat said, “I struggle to fend for myself and my
three children. Even before my husband travelled to
South Africa, he left me with the upkeep of the
family.
“I have suffered so much financial neglect. I have
never smuggled drugs in my life. He had done the
worst. My eldest child is only thirteen years.”
NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, has promised to
carry out detailed investigation, adding that any other
person culpable would be arrested and prosecuted.

You are both partner in crime, look @ a 51yr old still pushing drug

Two Nigerian nationals have been charged over the alleged importation of more than 40 kilograms of methamphetamine, brought into Australia concealed inside bar fridges and Jackie Chan-branded DVD players.
Chibuike Anyasor, 33, and Joe Iwuchukwu Odemegwo, 51, were arrested on Thursday afternoon by officers from Taskforce Icarus, a joint operation between the AFP, Border Force and Victoria Police tackling the importation of drugs by post and other methods.
The pair appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court today.
Ansayor, described by police as a key figure in the drug importation syndicate, was charged with importing and attempting to possess methamphetamine.
Odemegwo was charged with attempting to possess a commercial quantity of methamphetamine. If found guilty they face a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

The court heard that Anyasor and Odemegwo were under investigation for six months and that police had obtained extensive telephone intercepts during that time.
Many of the intercepted calls were all in the Igbo language, predominantly spoken by people in the south-east of Nigeria.
The court was told there were only two accredited Igbo translators in Australia and that both of them were living in Adelaide, on students visas, which meant they could only work for 20 hours a week.
AFP Deputy Commissioner Operations Leanne Close said offenders who imported methamphetamine into Australia would face the full force of the law.
"Law enforcement and border protection agencies will continue to work together to target organised crime syndicates who seek to compromise our communities with this dangerous and insidious drug," Deputy Commissioner Close said.
"These arrests are a significant disruption to this syndicate. Our capabilities to detect and disrupt organised crime continue to grow, and we will not slow our efforts to remove this scourge from our streets."

The two men were remanded into custody until a committal mention on December 11.
