Woman Nabbed at Lagos Airport with Cocaine Inside Her Bra

An attempt by a South African woman to smuggle 1.210kg cocaine from Nigeria
to her home country was on Saturday foiled by Nigeria's diligent anti-narcotics
officials.
The 34 year-old apprentice chef was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed
Airport, Ikeja, in the process of her boarding a Johannesburg-bound plane. She
concealed the drug packed in two parcels in her brassiere.
The drug was detected by a female operative of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) while on passengers’ screening.
NDLEA commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba gave the suspect’s name as
Lekganyane Lerato.
Garba said “The suspect was intercepted during routine screening of passengers
on South African airline. The drug was neatly concealed but certainly not good
enough to escape our notice. She is currently under investigation and will be
charged to court very soon.”
The suspect said that she was lured into drug trafficking by friends.
She cried, “I never imagined that the drug would be detected because it was
carefully concealed inside my brassiere. A female officer requested to feel my
boobs that was how the cocaine was detected. My travel expenses were
handled by the sponsor who promised to pay me $3,000 when I get to
Johannesburg but all my dreams have been dashed following my arrest .”
NDLEA Chairman, Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, said, “Daily arrest of drug
traffickers has validated our superiority. Drug trafficking organisations may try
their best but they will end up in prison custody.”
