Why did the poster not complete her name to enable us know her tribe in Nigeria? If it were to be an Igbo woman,the would  have written her name in full even her local govt and state.Nawaa for yoroba people,the would never distance from Drug,not even old age can stop them from doing their ancestral business.Any way that is the legacy of Tinubu and co.It happened last 4months ago in Murtalar muhammed international airport where a yoroba woman of same age was also caught in possession cocaine trying to board a london bound flight to visit her child who lives in london,perhaps the children might be using their mother as courrier,when will the yorobas disengage from this death merchandise? Gen.Buhari and Idiagbon used a yorobaman to launch  their drug draconian decree and eventually executed the Yoroba man as a case study for the decree.Now Baba suwe has taken over,nawaa for yoroba........spoiling the image of Nigeria everywhere in the world.

SEPTEMBER 26--The suspiciously towering hairdos of two women who had just flown into New York City from South America prompted federal agents to conduct searches that revealed each traveler was carrying more than two pounds of cocaine sewn into her weave, according to court records.

After arriving early Sunday morning on a flight from Guyana to John F. Kennedy International Airport, the women appeared fidgety and extremely nervous during routine questioning by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

In a U.S. District Court affidavit, a federal agent noted that Kiana Howell "appeared as if she was going to faint" and "her carotid artery was pumping." During a pat-down, an investigator felt "an unusual bulge beneath the defendant's hair weave." When asked about the bulge, Howell claimed that it was "part of her hair weave."

When asked to remove the weave, Howell said that she could not "because she had a package that was sewn into it." Howell stated that her boyfriend in Guyana "told her to bring that package under her hair weave to the United States for him."

While claiming that she did not know the package's contents, Howell admitted, "it was not a good thing."

Howell's weave was subsequently dismantled at a medical facility, where agents removed a rounded package wrapped with clear plastic. Inside was nearly a kilo of cocaine. After Howell's arrest, she told investigators she had been promised $7500 to "smuggle the package under her hair weave."

The second traveler, Makeeba Graham, "had an unusually high and bulky hair style," according to an affidavit sworn by Department of Homeland Security Agent Jeffrey Fidler. After a CBP agent "felt a hard object on the defendant's head," Graham, a 33-year-old Harlem resident, was "asked to remove her hair weave."

After Graham claimed that she could not remove the weave because it "was sewn to her natural hair," she was transported to a medical facility where the weave was partially dismantled. Inside, agents discovered a rounded package containing more than a kilo of cocaine.

Howell and Graham (pictured above) were named Monday in separate felony criminal complaints charging them with narcotics smuggling. Graham was freed on $100,000 bond, while Howell remains in custody in advance of a detention hearing scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — A South African woman has been caught smuggling cocaine in her dreadlocks by customs officials at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Nobanda Nolubabalo, 23, was searched by police after arriving in Bangkok on a Qatar Airways flight from Sao Paulo via Doha.

Police told the Bangkok Post they had noticed a white substance in her hair, and upon searching Nolubabalo's dreadlocks, found 3.3 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated 4.5 million baht ($145,000).

Police said Nolubabalo admitted to smuggling the drugs in her dreadlocks. She was to be paid 60,000 baht ($1,900) to deliver the cocaine to a customer at a hotel in Bangkok, Thai media reported.

Nolubabalo, nicknamed "Babsie," is from Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa's Times newspaper reported.

Thailand has severe penalties for drug convictions, including long jail sentences and even the death penalty for some offenses.

The SABC reported that Nolubabalo is the 12th South African to be caught for drug trafficking in Thailand this year.

The group Locked Up Abroad told Eyewitness News that the number of South African drug mules imprisoned in foreign countries "is rising at an alarming rate every month."

On Monday, China executed Janice Bronwyn Linden by lethal injection for drug smuggling, despite a last-minute plea for clemency by South African President Jacob Zuma.

That's what I thought...
