36 year old Chinelo Okorom Lynette who sells food in Ajangbadi in Lagos was caught at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport with 685 grammes of cocaine concealed in her vagina. The arrest took place during inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
In her statement, NDLEA said, the suspect disclosed that she was deceived into drug trafficking under the guise of importing female bags. “I am a food vendor at Ajangbadi, Lagos and have never been involved in crime.The NDLEA boss urged members of the public to be cautious of the tricks employed by drug syndicates adding that the suspect’s action is shameful. The suspect will soon be charged to court, NDLEA said.
I am a victim of man’s cruelty to man. My husband abandoned me with four children two years ago. I work hard to pay their fees and ensure their proper upkeep. The last straw that devastated me was when the landlord forcefully ejected me.
I had nowhere to turn to for solace. I was crying like a baby when a man came to console me. I have never met him in my life. He asked me to wipe my tears and promised to introduce me to importation business. I felt he was God sent until he sponsored my trip to Addis Ababa.
When I got to Ethiopia, he told me to take cocaine to Nigeria. Initially I disagreed but he threatened to recover his investment at all cost,” she was quoted as saying.
