The operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a businesswoman, Okolonkwo Ebere Theresa, for allegedly concealing illicit drugs in her underwear while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, Qatar.
The businesswoman was apprehended last Sunday at the screening point of terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, in a statement issued on Sunday, September 21, said after a thorough search, two big parcels of white crystalline substance that later tested positive to methamphetamine with a gross weight of 1.40 kilograms were recovered from the woman’s butt pad underwear.
Babafemi stated that during preliminary interview with Ebere, she claimed she trades in used clothing and also operates a POS business in Enugu where she was recruited into the illicit drug business.
