Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a woman identified as Mrs. Adaba Onitemi for allegedly taking in 839 grams of substance believed to be cocaine at the Port Harcourt International Airport.
The 54-year-old woman, believed to be a widow and a mother of six, was picked up while attempting to board Lufthansa Airline, en route to London via Frankfurt, Germany after she was suspected by officials
of the NDLEA at the Airport at about 8:30pm on Wednesday last week.
Mr. Olutekunbi Davies, the NDLEA Commander at the Port Harcourt
Airport while parading the suspect to newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the woman was taken to the military hospital in the state capital where she was found to have ingested the substance.
Davies said the substance would be valued at N10 million, pointing out that no fewer than three drug suspects have been arrested in similar circumstances at the airport in the last two years.
