NDLEA arrests South African woman with 36.65kg of cocaine in Lagos
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has arrested Qhina Beauty, a 34-year-old South African woman, with 36.65 kilogrammes of cocaine at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.
Femi Babafemi, NDLEA director of media and advocacy, shared this in a statement on Sunday.
Babafemi said Beauty was arrested on October 7 at the airport’s departure hall while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to South Africa via Doha.
He said a search of her two travel bags led to the discovery of 30 blocks of cocaine concealed with dried pepper, wrapped in cellophane tape and packed into seven parcels.
