A 51-year-old woman has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, (NDLEA) at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA)in Lagos for being in possession of 180 grammes of heroin. The suspect, Akinyemi Monsurat Olajumoke from Ogun State, was nabbed during inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopia Airlines flight from Entebbe, Uganda with four parcels of brownish powdery substance that tested positive for heroin. Speaking on this, the NDLEA commander at the Lagos airport, Ahmadu Garba in a statement, said the substance was neatly concealed inside her luggage. The suspect is said to have travelled to Uganda for one week and on her return, the illicit drug was found on her. Meanwhile on being interrogated, Olajumoke said, “I was introduced into drug trafficking by a friend who invited me to Uganda. I invested my $3,000 into the deal in expectation of over 100 percent profit.”
