Ugandan Woman Arrested with 87 Cocaine Wraps at Lagos Airport

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a Ugandan woman attempting to leave Nigeria with 87 cocaine wraps hidden in her private parts.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a Ugandan woman attempting to leave Nigeria with 87 cocaine wraps hidden in her private parts. According to multiple news sources, the incident occurred at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos. The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly on her way to Istanbul, Turkey when she was stopped by NDLEA officials. The agency did not confirm when the facility began operating or provide further details about the investigation. This is not the first time a large drug bust has been reported at Lagos airport. In recent years, the airport has become a major transit point for drug trafficking, particularly involving cocaine and heroin. The NDLEA has stepped up efforts to combat this problem, but the success of these efforts remains uncertain. The arrest of the Ugandan woman is a testament to the ongoing battle against drug trafficking in Nigeria and highlights the need for continued vigilance by law enforcement agencies.
