Operatives of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have apprehended
two female passengers in connection with drug
trafficking.
The arrests were made at the Murtala Mohammed
International Airport (MMIA) Lagos. The suspects
are Onuoha Faith, 24 years old hair stylist caught
with one kilogramme of methamphetamine
hidden in her brazier and inner wear and a 25
year old London-based fashion designer,
Animasaun Sulikiatu Bisola Sunbo found in
possession of 3 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed
inside packs of chocolates.
The Airport Commander Mr. Hamza Umar noted
that Onuoha Faith was detected with the
assistance of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria
(FAAN).
“I must commend the officials of FAAN for their
support and cooperation. Onuoha wanted to take
a local flight to Abuja where she will connect
another flight to Malaysia but was caught at the
local wing of the airport. She packed 750
grammes of methamphetamine on her brazier
and inner wear while 250 grammes were also
ingested by her.
Animasaun Sulikiatu Bisola Sunbo was arrested
during screening of passengers on a British
Airways flight to London. Thirty (30) sachets of
cocaine weighing 3kg was found inside two
chocolates containers in her bag” Hamza stated.
Animasaun told narcotic investigators that she
was lured into the drug deal describing her
involvement as a big mistake. “This is a very big
mistake on my part. I hope I will be given the
opportunity to right my wrongs. They promised
me 3,000 pounds to take the packs of chocolates.
Apart from the financial inducement, I should
have resisted the temptation. It is a mistake that
will never happen again” Animasaun lamented.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the
London based fashion designer was seen as a
good courier that may not attract suspicion. She
has dual citizenship and had lived in London all
her life.
Her British international passport number is
306673168 while her Nigeria international
passport number is A0243146. Several seizures of
cocaine wrapped as chocolates had previously
been made by the NDLEA at the Lagos airport.
Onuoha Faith hails from Orlu in Imo State.
According to her, she wanted to use the proceeds
of the drug business to further her education.
“I am a hair dresser because I have no money to
pursue my education. I completed my primary
school in 2003 and wanted to use the proceeds
from the drug business to further my education”
Faith stated.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu
Giade said that the Agency will take steps to
prevent drug trafficking in the country.
“The officials that made the seizures and arrests
must sustain their efforts in prompt interception
of drugs. Drug traffickers male or female must be
stopped from tarnishing the image of our
country. I urge members of the public to
collaborate with the Agency in tracing drug
barons. We must stop them from the criminal
trade and promote peaceful coexistence in our
country” Giade urged.
