Photos: See What This Mother Of Five Was Nabbed With?

A 34-year old housewife, Nsofor Ngozi Anderlin has been arrested by the Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA on Thursday for being in possession of a bag of heroine.  

Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA  intercepted the woman and a bag with 195 grammes of heroin hidden inside it at the Lagos airport during search of luggage to Monrovia, Liberia on an Arik flight.
“Officials have arrested the consignor, a 34-year old housewife, Nsofor Ngozi Anderlin for attempting to export the drug to her husband in Liberia,” said Mitchell Ofoyeju, NDLEA Head of Public Affairs.
Ofoyeju’s statement quoted the suspect, a mother of five, as saying that the bag was sent to her by her husband.
“My husband called me from Liberia where he lives that somebody will give me a bag. He told me to buy female artificial hair in the bag and send it to him. I bought the hair attachment as instructed by my husband. This is not my first time of sending goods to my husband. Unfortunately, officers at the Airport found heroine inside the bag during search,” Ngozi was quoted as saying.  

NDLEA quoted the suspect who hails from Imo State as saying: “I really feel bad that the bag where the drug was found was sent to me by my husband. I am here writing statement when I ought to be preparing for my New Year celebration at home.”

NDLEA commander at the Lagos Airport, Hamza Umar, was quoted in the statement as saying that the artificial hair was used as a distraction.
“The artificial hair was just a distraction knowing that heroin was industrially concealed in a false bottom of the bag. It took the experience of the officers to have detected the drug at the luggage checking desk. Preliminary investigation indicates that it is a family business. The suspect will soon be charged to court,” Umar was quoted as saying.
