33-year-old Senegalese woman arrested with drugs
A 33-years-old Senegalese woman, Kamara Oumou, has been arrested for drug trafficking by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) officials at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
Oumou was arrested while attempting to board an Arik flight to Dakar. She was arrested with the international passport number 400680371.
In her confessional statement, Oumou said that she smuggled the illicit drug because she loved her Nigerian boyfriend.
In a statement signed by the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, the suspect was found in possession of 680 grammes of narcotic that tested positive for heroin and cocaine.
According to the statement, the suspect used industrial tape in sticking three parcels of cocaine weighing 515 grammes on her waist, while six wraps of heroin weighing 165 grammes were inserted in her private parts.
Ofoyeju stressed that the drugs were carefully concealed by the suspect, but not intelligent done enough to escape detection by NDLEA officials.
He, however, said unlike most drug couriers who smuggle drugs for money, Oumou shocked her investigators when she confessed that she smuggled the drugs because she loved her boyfriend.
The suspect was quoted as saying: “How can I ask my boyfriend to pay me? I smuggled the drugs for the love I have for my Nigerian boyfriend.”
Ofoyeju said preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect and her boyfriend, who she simply identified as Hakeem, met in Dakar where the boyfriend had lived for 11 years.
Their relationship lasted only six months before Hakeem left Dakar in December 2012.
