Operatives of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have apprehended two female passengers in connection
with drug trafficking.

The arrests were made at the Murtala Mohammed International
Airport (MMIA) Lagos. The suspects are Onuoha Faith, 24 years old hair stylist
caught with one kilogramme of methamphetamine hidden in her brazier and inner
wear and a 25 year old London-based fashion designer, Animasaun Sulikiatu
Bisola Sunbo found in possession of 3 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed inside
packs of chocolates.

The Airport Commander Mr. Hamza Umar noted that Onuoha
Faith was detected with the assistance of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria
(FAAN).


“I must commend the officials of FAAN for their support
and cooperation. Onuoha wanted to take a local flight to Abuja
where she will connect another flight to Malaysia but was caught at the local wing of the airport. She packed
750 grammes of methamphetamine on her brazier and inner wear while 250 grammes
were also ingested by her.

Animasaun Sulikiatu Bisola Sunbo was arrested during
screening of passengers on a British Airways flight to London.
Thirty (30) sachets of cocaine weighing 3kg was found inside two chocolates
containers in her bag” Hamza stated.

Animasaun told narcotic investigators that she was lured
into the drug deal describing her involvement as a big mistake. “This is a very
big mistake on my part. I hope I will be given the opportunity to right my
wrongs. They promised me 3,000 pounds to take the packs of chocolates. Apart
from the financial inducement, I should have resisted the temptation. It is a
mistake that will never happen again” Animasaun lamented.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the London
based fashion designer was seen as a good courier that may not attract
suspicion. She has dual citizenship and had lived in London
all her life.

Her British international passport number is 306673168
while her Nigeria international passport number is A0243146. Several seizures
of cocaine wrapped as chocolates had previously been made by the NDLEA at the Lagos
airport.

Onuoha Faith hails from Orlu in Imo State. According to her, she wanted to use the proceeds of the drug
business to further her education.

“I am a hair dresser because I have no money to pursue
my education. I completed my primary school in 2003 and wanted to use the
proceeds from the drug business to further my education” Faith stated.

Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade said
that the Agency will take steps to prevent drug trafficking in the country.

“The officials that made the seizures and arrests must
sustain their efforts in prompt interception of drugs. Drug traffickers male or
female must be stoppedfrom tarnishing the image of our country. I urge members
of the public to collaborate with the Agency in tracing drug barons. We must
stop them from the criminal trade and promote peaceful coexistence in our
country” Giade urged
