The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has reportedly arrested a pregnant woman and others at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.
According to the statement, the pregnant woman, identified as Mrs. Sylvester Gloria Onome, was arrested on January 30, 2023, by operatives of the anti-narcotics agency at the NAHCO export shed of the airport after 800 grams of skunk were discovered concealed in two small radio sets being sent to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The NDLEA spokesman said on Friday, February 3, 2023, that a Nigerian based in Athens, Greece, identified as Iwuozor Edward Chinedu was removed from an Ethiopian airline flight after officers in the tarmac team intercepted two bags during a secondary check exercise at the foot of the aircraft.
The 
statement said, “When the bags were searched in the presence of Chinedu and other airport stakeholders, two big pellets wrapped with foil papers and some sprinkles of pepper were recovered from each of the two sides of one of the bags. The pellets were used to construct false walls at the sides of the bag.
“The two parcels contained substances that tested positive to cocaine and heroin with a gross weight of 1.30kg and 900 grams respectively.
“Babafemi noted that during a preliminary interview, Chinedu claimed he came to Nigeria three months ago for surgery, which he was not comfortable doing in Athens.
“He further claimed he was given the bag to deliver in Greece for a fee of N2,000,000,” the statement said.
