» Senegalese Woman With Cocaine Hidden In Her Private Part Arrested At Seme Border «

SEME—A 45-year- old, Senegalese woman, Sall Fatou, has
been arrested by officers of the Nigeria Immigration
Service, NIS, Zone A attempting to cross the Seme border
with tons of cocaine. The suspect that hid the drugs in her
private part was intercepted by curious Immigration
officers who were suspicious about her nervous posture at
the border.
The Assistant Comptroller General of Immigration, Zone A,
Mr. Musa Maza, who disclosed the arrest said the suspect
claimed to be a courier and not a drug dealer. According to
him, “the suspect’s nervous posture aroused suspicion
when our officers at the border accosted her. She told us
she was sent to deliver the drugs to someone in Senegal.
The drug was uncovered within her private part.”
The suspect, Fatou, who spoke to newsmen in French,
noted that she was only playing the role of a ‘middle-
person. She claimed she does not know the person who
supplied her drugs.
According to the suspect, “the drug was given to me by
someone I do not know at midnight. My own role is to
deliver the drugs to someone I also do not know in Senegal
but I was caught at the border. I never knew I would fall
into this kind of trap. I really regret my actions.”
The suspect was handed over to narcotic officers from the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at the
headquarters of the NIS, Ikeja, Lagos for further
investigation and prosecution. The NDLEA officials who
took over the matter pledged to ensure thorough
investigation and prosecution of the suspect.
