NDLEA Arrests Nigerian Woman with 100 Pellets of Cocaine

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a Nigerian woman based in Brazil, Anita Ugochinyere Ogbonna, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, with 100 pellets of cocaine concealed in her private part and handbag.?
?
The mother of three, according to NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, was arrested on Friday night on arrival in Abuja via Qatar Air from Sao Paulo, Brazil through Doha.?
?
“Upon a proper search, 12 wraps of cocaine inserted in her private part were extracted while another 88 pellets stuffed in socks were discovered hidden in her handbag.?
?
During interrogation, Ogbonna, who is a mother of three children, all resident in Brazil, claimed she lost her husband three years ago.?
?
“She confessed she decided to traffic the illicit drug to raise money for the burial of her father scheduled for July 23, in Imo State.?
?
She said one Emeka, alias KC, also based in Brazil, gave her the drug to deliver in Nigeria for a fee of $3,000. She said she pushed the wraps of cocaine into her private part after her attempts to swallow the pellets failed.?
?
“The suspect, who owns a shop where she sells African foodstuffs in Brazil, further claimed she had to drop her three young children with a Kenyan lady who is her neighbour in Brazil before she embarked on the quick-money-journey,” Babafemi said.?
