Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on Monday arrested two female passengers for drug trafficking.

The arrests were made at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The suspects are Onuoha Faith, a 24- year old hair stylist and Animashaun Sulikiatu Bisola Sunbo, a 25- year old London-based fashion designer.

Onuoha was caught with one kilogramme of methamphetamine hidden in her brazier and inner wear.

The second suspect, Animashaun was found in possession of three kilogrammes of cocaine, concealed inside packs of chocolates.

The Airport Commander of NDLEA, Mr. Hamza Umar, revealed that Onuoha was detected with the assistance of Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria.

“I must commend the officials of FAAN for their support and cooperation. Onuoha wanted to take a local flight to Abuja where she will connect another flight to Malaysia but was caught at the local wing of the airport.

“She packed 750 grammes of methamphetamine on her brazier and inner wear while 250 grammes were also ingested by her.

“Animasaun was arrested during screening of passengers on a British Airways flight to London. 30 sachets of cocaine weighing three kilogrammes were found inside two chocolates containers in her bag,” Hamza stated.

Animasaun told narcotic investigators that she was lured into the drug deal, saying her involvement was a big mistake.

“This was a very big mistake on my part. I hope I will be given the opportunity to right my wrongs. They promised me 3,000 pounds to take the packs of chocolates. Apart from the financial inducement, I should have resisted the temptation. It is a mistake that will never happen again,” she lamented.
