Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have foiled attempts by suspected traffickers to smuggle illicit drugs through the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport and the Seme Border, uncovering substances hidden in a fake pregnancy and inside a suspect’s stomach.
The agency’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a post shared via his X handle on Sunday.
According to the statement, a 35-year-old businesswoman, Rabi Muhammad, was intercepted at the Seme border while attempting to cross to Cotonou.
Officers became suspicious after noticing her protruding stomach. A search later revealed that her pregnancy was fake and that she had strapped a pink-coloured calabash to her abdomen containing 3,200 capsules of tramadol intended for sale across the border.
