Men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA on Wednesday arrested a 65-year old grandmother, who is also a mother of six, with a large amount of cocaine.
NDLEA said the suspect, Hassan Fatimat Abike, was to board a British Airways plane at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, when she was arrested with the banned substance.
She was caught during the screening of British Airways passengers to London.
The cocaine found in her possession was packed in balloons and prepared into the shape of the plastic bottles. It was also wrapped in black polythene inside 10 plastic bottles of local herbal mixtures. And each bottle was neatly sealed to avoid suspicion.
Further findings by the NDLEA revealed that the grandma is also known as Chika Okoye and speaks Yoruba and Ibo fluently.
