A
food vendor, Chinelo Lynnette, 36, has been arrested by the National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency for smuggling 685 grammes of cocaine,
inserted in her vagina.
Lynnette was apprehended at the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, during the inward screening of
passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight from Addis Ababa.
NDLEA commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said the suspect ingested a few wraps and inserted others in her vagina.
He said, “The suspect tested positive
for drug ingestion and vagina insertion. She expelled a total of 685g of
substance that tested positive for cocaine while under observation at
the airport.”
Lynnette said that she was deceived into drug trafficking under the guise of importing female bags.
She said, “I am a food vendor at
Ajangbadi, Lagos, and have never been involved in crime. I was abandoned
by my husband two years ago and left to cater for our children alone.
All this while, I have been doing my best to provide for them and pay
their school fees.
“The last straw that broke the camel’s
back was when the landlord ejected me; I had nowhere to turn to for
solace. While I was crying, a man who I did not know came to console me.
He promised to help by introducing me to the importation business. I
felt he was God sent until he sponsored my trip to Addis Ababa. It
wasn’t until I got to Ethiopia, that I knew it was drug trafficking.
When I tried to refuse, he threatened to recover his investment at all
cost.”
Chief Executive of NDLEA, Mr. Ahmadu Giade, said drug traffickers always changed routes and tactics.
He said, “Going to Addis Ababa to
smuggle cocaine into Nigeria is one of the tricks employed by drug
trafficking syndicates. Cocaine is not known to come from Addis Ababa,
but we were able to detect it because of our vigilance. Members of the
public should at all times be conscious of the tricks employed by drug
syndicates. We look forward to fruitful progress in our investigation at
the end of which the suspect will be charged to court. oh my goodness!
