The woman in the
picture above is Ulomma Ezeji, a 40 year old businesswoman from Imo
State. She was nabbed by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on her way to Turkey. She was caught with 645 grammes of cocaine.
According to her,
"I am a trader. I import ladies hand bags, shoes and clothes, but I make little profit in my business. My boyfriend told me that I can make four times my capital in one successful drug deal. He has been persuading me for long. I decided to give it a trial to expand my capital base. I invested N2.3m in the deal."“Somebody was to receive the drug in Turkey and give me my share of the money with which I had planned to buy goods in France.”
NDLEA Airport Commander, Hamza Umar, who confirmed her
arrest, said, “Ezeji was found in possession of powdery substance that tested
positive to cocaine on her way to Turkey. We also gathered that she had
invested N2.3m into the drug business in anticipation of making high profit.
The drug, which was carefully hidden in her hand bag, was detected during
screening of passengers.”
