Arrested 41-year-old Canadian woman, Adrienne Munju, has said she trafficked drug to Nigeria so that she could pay for her MSc
She was arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, for importing a large consignment of a strong strain of synthetic cannabis called ‘Canadian Loud’.
The suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on a KLM Airline flight from Canada at Terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on Thursday, October 3, 2024.
A statement by the agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said during a joint examination of her three bags, Adrienne, who was in Nigeria for the first time, was found with 74 parcels of the illicit substance weighing 35.20 kilograms stuffed in two of her three bags.
“In her statement, she claimed she was recruited to traffic the consignment through an online platform for 10,000 Canadian dollars upon successful delivery in Lagos. She said she took the offer because she needed the money to pay for her ongoing Master’s degree programme in Canada,” Babafemi added.
