A 32 year old single lady, Chizoba Anya Vivian is currently being quizzed by anti-narcotic officers for allegedly excreting wraps of substance that tested positive for methamphetamine on-board a Qatar Airline Flight from Malaysia. The suspect was said to have aroused suspicion following her frequent visit to the toilet. On arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, three wraps of methamphetamine was found in her possession.
NDLEA
commander at the Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, said that the suspect while
under observation excreted two additional wraps. In his words, “the suspect was
found with three wraps which she excreted in the aircraft. While she was under
observation at the Lagos airport, she excreted two additional wraps of drugs.
The five wraps which tested positive for methamphetamine weighed 80 grammes”.
Preliminary
investigation also revealed that the suspect left Ghana where she ingested the
drugs to Malaysia. In Malaysia, she was denied entry and made to board another
flight back to Nigeria. She started excreting the drugs at the airport in
Malaysia.
The
suspect in her statement said she was offered half a million naira to smuggle
the drugs to Malaysia. “I was promised the sum of half a million naira but my
problem started when I had immigration problem in Malaysia. I was denied entry
and made to return to Nigeria after two days. While in the aircraft, I excreted
three wraps and two other wraps in the NDLEA office” Vivian stated.
Vivian,
who hails from Onitsha, said that she just completed her Higher National
Diploma (HND) in Business Administration at the Federal Polytechnic Oko,
Anambra State. “I just completed my HND programme and I am from a very poor
family. I wanted to use the money they promised me to assist my siblings by
smuggling the drug to Malaysia” she added.
Chairman/Chief
Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade in his reaction warned against get rich
quick syndrome. “Drug traffickers must avoid get rich quick syndrome and
understand that a good name is better than ill-gotten wealth that comes without
peace of mind” Giade stated.
