A suspected female drug trafficker and her two male counterparts have been apprehended by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, for attempting to export substances that tested positive for narcotics out of the country.
The three suspects were found to have ingested 195 wraps of narcotics, while the only female among them, inserted 205 grammes of heroin in her private parts.
The names of the suspects, according to the NDLEA acting Airport Commander, Alhaji Idris Bello, are; Okoye Oluwanifemi Itunu, 38; Onugha Benjamin Simon, 37; and Onyewe Everist Ntom, 37.
The only female suspect, Itunu, ingested 75 wraps and inserted one big wrap, weighing 205 grammes, in her private parts, while another suspect, Onugha Benjamin, that ingested 50 wraps, equally inserted 19 wraps of heroin in his anus with a total weight of 995 grammes.
Apart from Onyenwe that swallowed 1.576kg of cocaine, the other two suspects were caught with heroin. While highlighting the legal and medical implication of ingesting narcotics, the chairman of the agency, Ahmadu Giade, urged stakeholders to collaborate with the agency in eradicating illicit drugs from the society.
He stressed that the suspected traffickers could have lost their lives in the process, all in a bid to collect peanuts from their sponsors.
