Two of the suspects concealed meth in their underwear and wigs, while a third ingested cocaine
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), on Thursday, disclosed that it recently arrested three suspected female drug traffickers for smuggling 4.5kg of narcotics in their underwear and wigs.
 


A statement signed by the agency's Head of Public Affairs, Ofoyeju Mitchell, revealed that all three suspects were apprehended at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, last weekend.
 
The suspects are: Anene Iruoma, 26; Obiakor Okwudili, 34; and Ms. Mbechi Susan, 38.
 
According to Mitchell, Anene and Obiakor, who were on their way to Malaysia, were caught with 3.6kg of methamphetamines neatly hidden in customised underwear and wigs.
 
The third suspect, Mbechi, who had claimed to be three months pregnant, was found to have ingested 900 grammes of substance that tested positive for cocaine.
 
The agency's commander at the Abuja Airport, Hamisu Lawan, said the drugs were detected during routine screening of passengers, adding that the suspects had been "co-operating with narcotic officials in the investigation."
 
Mbechi was said to have been arrested on her way from Sao-Paulo, Brazil, with the aid of scanning machines.
 
"Mbechi, who claimed to be three months pregnant, later excreted 51 pellets of cocaine weighing 900 grammes," he stated.
 
In his reaction, the NDLEA Chairman, Ahmadu Giade, said the Agency would provide an enabling environment for a strong and sustainable drug control institution in the country.
 
“Drug trafficking is criminal and as security managers we have a responsibility to provide the enabling environment for officers and stakeholders to give their best in addressing the drug problem," he stated.
 
"These and subsequent arrests and drug seizures will further discourage potential drug traffickers that they will caught and prosecuted."
 
According to the statement, the suspects, who will soon be charged to court, face a 15-year sentence under the NDLEA Act.
