A 51-year-old grandmother, Monsurat Akinyemi, has been arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos for being in possession of 180 grammes of heroin, PUNCH reports.
Akinyemi, an Ogun State indigene was apprehended after four parcels of the drug was found in her luggage. Officials discovered the drug during an inward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Entebbe, Uganda.
A statement by NDLEA spokesperson, Mitchell Ofoyeju, disclosed that the agency’s commander at the airport, Ahmadu Garba, said the suspect traveled to Uganda for one week and hid the drugs in her luggage on the way back.
“The case is under investigation and will be charged to court soon,” Garba said.
Speaking to investigators, Akinyemi said:
“I used to buy female clothes from India for sale. However, due to family problems and the economic situation, my business started to die.
“I wanted to expand my business. I was introduced to drug trafficking by a friend who invited me to Uganda. I invested my $3,000 (about N1.2 million using black market rate) in the deal and expected that I would get $6,000 from it.
“I am sad that things did not go as planned. I am not a criminal. I just want to survive. When the drug was discovered at the airport, I felt as if it was all over for me.”
If na igbo woman now una go dey talk rubbish…every tribe have criminals and good ones…no particular tribe is only linked to crime or love for money…
At Lara Kasym,yet they’ve not taken it to Jerusalem as was the case of your people from Kwara who were recently caught in Saudi while on prigrimage, l think that is called HOLY COCAIN
Suadiq A Rahman Kulibali are very much on point.
Olufemi Adedipe I know you not an African, you be Oyibo. Allow us to think like typical African and still say the truth
And why this old Yoruba woman
You can Survive without drugs.
Kudos to my mum ooooo
Now where are the Yorubas who always condemn the Igbos for drug trafficking? Shame to you all ass holes!!! For me, I am not condemning any drug trafficker because no one is being forced to use it.
Talking about people who got useless by using the hard drug, I think they are very few to compare the number of people who are useless by drinking alcohol, hard drug is expensive and many people can’t use it because they can’t afford it, but people can get madly drunk with local whiskey of 2 Euro daily.
I would do F…. same . No one but God to judge you who is Saint make them throw the first stone. There is only one God to judge anyone in this world U0001f52bU0001f52bU0001f4a3U0001f52bU0001f4a3U0001f4a3U0001f52bU0001f4d6U0001f4d6
Not a new thing, good and bad works together.
@Ahmed Aishat, any prob?
Lol really? But her name doesn’t sound like Igbo name bro
You idiot have no right to judge this woman because all have sin, So shut up and mind your own business,Whatever” She never force the users to buy it, Let the rule of law enforcement justify her in accordance to the Law
She wants to survive at d expense of other pples life

She is not destroying anyones life.. Thats their choice to destroy their own life.. If she wasn’t selling.. They would have found another supplier.. She jus trying to live
She was trying to survive
They should kill her.

Pls they shoud let go the poor woman joor, The poor woman was only battling to survive, What do you expect from Nigerians When apc government lead by buhari has things upside down????? If buhari has done the needful things trafficking of hard drug wouldn’t have be the only way, Nigerians are now left with no choice

Suadiq, from all indications, it’s clearly proven that this woman is just a jobber! what about the major barons, i mean their Ogas at the top?

Survive by selling drugs? There are a lot of trade u can engage urself with if u want to survive. I dnt think u jst want to survive, u want to live big using a short cut to achieve it. Shortcuts always cut short ur lives!

Hi Jamila Mo
Leave tribe out of this. She said “she was only trying to survive”. But not by killing others woman!!!!
i thought they said only igbos do drugs in nigeria a lot of nigerians are so shameless with their tribal lies.
Americans also traffic drugs. Do we blame Obama and other former head of states?
U r very funny
if it was an igbo man you will not blame it on the govt you will blame it on the tribe and say igbos are drug pushers. that is the average mentality of a nigerian and that is one of the reason why the igbo man must separate from this fraud created by britain called nigeria.
Just criminal activity I guess
Igbo people and this their drug business sef. Monsurat Akinyemi is the name of this one. God will judge Igbo haters like He is judging Isreal haters.

A criminal is someone who committed a crime. Be the judge of yourself and put the records straight.
Thesame Obama like you mentioned him will do everything human possible to pull out any American Citizen found in thesame crime out any prison direct or indirect just to make she/he lives, bcuz to him an American citizen life is more important
My dear, Life is precious and we should value the lives of our citizens,
The bigger criminals are the fake politicians in our country
I don’t know why some Nigerians are in love with Death, that’s the only solution to problems?
