NDLEA arrest Chadian lady in Abuja airport with heroin in private parts
A Chadian lady, Vivien Tarmadji was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, while trying to board an Ethiopian airline flight 911 en route to Addis Ababa-Italy with 234.35 grams of heroin hidden in her private part.
It was reported that she runs a saloon business in Italy since 2016 upon her relocation to the country via Libya until she was nabbed on Friday by vigilant narcotics agents during an outward clearance of the airline.
However, Tarmadji claimed that she came into Nigeria to raise money to pay for her house and shop rents which had expired in Italy, as life has been so difficult since the coming of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Moreso, a statement by the Spokesperson of NDLEA, Femi Babafemi said when interrogated, “she claimed she was contacted by a man who called her from Italy to collect the drug from one man who delivered the illicit substance to her in a hotel she lodged in Lagos.”
This happened early in the morning before she took her flight to Abuja the same day for an onward journey to Italy.
She further claimed that the man brought 50 wraps of heroin for her to swallow but she couldn’t, and as such, she decided to insert 18 wraps into her private part and returned the remaining to the man that brought the drug to her in the hotel.
