Two ​Nigerian women caught smuggling cocaine in their private parts — NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said it ha​s​ arrested two women attempting to smuggle cocaine aboard a Qatar Airways flight to China.
Deborah Alaka and Chinyere Chukwujekwu were found to possess about 3 kilogrammes of cocaine at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos.

The suspects said in their statements that they were pushed into cocaine smuggling because their husbands abandoned them, according to the NDLEA.

“These women are curiously desperate for ingesting drugs, packing some on their bodies and inserting in their vagina,” Hamza Umar, the NDLEA Commander at the Lagos Airport, said.

Mrs. Alaka, 47, was caught with 1.180kg of cocaine – 260 grammes inserted into her private part and 60 wraps weighing 920 grammes ingested.
The agency caught Mrs. Chukwujekwu, 45, with 1.455kg of cocaine – 59 wraps packed on her body, one parcel inserted into her private part, and ​10​ wraps weighing 170 grammes ingested, the NDLEA said
