The operatives of the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested two women for
inserting suspected wraps of cocaine into their private parts.
One of them, Alaka Deborah
Uzoma, 47 was found with 1.180kg of cocaine. She allegedly stuffed 260 grammes
of cocaine in her private part and ingested 60 wraps weighing 920 grammes.
While ,Chukwujekwu Chinyere Priscilla, 45 was caught with
1.455kg of cocaine. She packed 59 wraps on her body, inserted one parcel in her
vagina weighing 1.285kg and ingested 10 wraps weighing 170 grammes.
According to Uzoma, her
husband abandoned her with seven children and she added: “I took loan to travel to China and
in the process I incurred huge debt which compounded my problems. At a point, I
had no money for food, school fees and even house rent. This was what made me
to smuggle drugs. I swallowed 59 wraps of drugs all through the night because
of 6,000 dollars. I also packed some in my underwear and one in my vagina. It
was a terrible experience. I feel so sad that I have to end up this way as a
Christian.”
NDLEA spokesman, Mitchell
Ofoyeju, the two housewives were arrested for ingesting cocaine, hiding some in
their underwear and inserting some in their private parts.
Ofoyeju said: “The arrest
has prevented the housewives from arrest and execution in China few weeks after
the Indonesian Government executed some Nigerians for drug trafficking.”
The two women were found
to possess 2.635kg of cocaine at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport
(MMIA) Lagos while attempting to board a Qatar Airways flight to China.
NDLEA commander at the
Lagos Airport, Mr. Hamza Umar described the women as ‘desperate traffickers.’
Umar said: “These
women are curiously desperate for ingesting drugs, hiding some on their bodies
and inserting others in their vagina. Uzoma was found with 1.180kg of cocaine.
She inserted 260 grammes of cocaine in her private part and ingested 60 wraps
weighing 920 grammes. Priscilla was caught with 1.455kg of cocaine. She packed
59 wraps on her body, inserted one parcel in her vagina weighing 1.285kg and
ingested 10 wraps weighing 170 grams.”
Priscilla explained that
she embraced drug trafficking because she wanted to establish herself
financially in order to take care of her children. She said: “I got married
early because there was no money for me to further my studies after my primary
education. My husband who is a retired soldier abandoned me 10 years ago. Since
then my life has been sorrowful. I sell female clothes and shoes to take care
of my children. I met a man at the market who promised to assist me in my
business by making me an importer. This was how we began to talk on phone. He
gives me recharge cards and money to sustain myself. It was the day I was to travel
that he told me that I will take drugs to China. He took me to a hotel where I
was given the drugs and 6000 dollars to buy my goods in China. I could only
swallow 10 wraps, so I forced others into my vagina and packed others in my
underwear.”
