55-year-old
Basira Iyabo from Kwara State was headed to Medina to perform the
annual pilgrimage when she was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, during the outward screening of passengers
on an Emirates Airlines flight to Dubai.
She
excreted seventy-six (76) pellets of cocaine and was then placed under
observation until she expelled all the injested drugs totaling 82
wraps. NDLEA spokesman, Mitchell Ofoyeju, who confirmed the report said
the married mother of three excreted the last wraps of the substance
over the weekend while in their custody. The total weight of drugs
excreted by the suspect was 931 grams.
Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah, the
anti-narcotics boss, described the action of the suspect as shameful and
stated that the drug trafficker would be sanctioned in line with
anti-narcotics laws.
"It is a shameful and discreditable act for a 55
years old
mother who is going on a holy pilgrimage to ingest narcotics. This is
very shocking and a clear indication of her inability to effectively
discharge parental responsibilities. The agency shall invoke the powers
of the law against her and others caught indulging in production or
trafficking of drugs."
Also commenting on
the arrest, NDLEA Commander at the Abuja airport,
Hamisu Lawan, said arrangements had been concluded for her prosecution
in the law court. If the suspect had been caught in Saudi Arabia, she
would have been publicly executed according to the law of the land.
In her confessional statement, the trader who sells cosmetics at
Dosumu Market in Lagos owned up to the crime and also provided
investigators with useful information. She said that she desired to
expand her business in Dosunmu Market and her sponsors, who she declined
to mention,
offered her the sum of N1 million to courier the drug to Saudi Arabia.
"I am a trader in Lagos, married with three children. I
wanted to expand my cosmetic business, but I have no money. My sponsor
offered to foot my expenses to Saudi on pilgrimage. This was how I got
involved in the act. I was excited until the issue of drugs was introduced. I wanted to
decline, but it was late. Besides, I was offered one N1 million, which I
accepted. I swallowed the drugs in Lagos and took a flight to Abuja on
my way to Medina, but I was caught in the process"
Chai! See her looking sober
