    NDLEA Nabs Woman Smuggling Cocaine to Iran

    National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has thwarted a desperate attempt by a woman, Ihensekhien Miracle Obehi, who disguised herself with a hijab to export large consignments of cocaine concealed in her private part, stomach, and the false bottom of her handbag to Iran via Port Harcourt International Airport, Rivers State.

    Obehi, dressed in a hijab in an attempt to evade security checks, was intercepted at the departure hall of Port Harcourt airport on 3rd May 2025 while trying to board a Qatar Airways flight to Iran via Doha, following credible intelligence.

    As a result, she was placed under excretion observation, and after four rounds of excretion spanning several days, she expelled the 67 wraps of cocaine from her stomach.

    She claimed she had intended to swallow 70 pellets but, after ingesting 67, was unable to consume the remaining three and opted to conceal them in her private parts. The total weight of the three consignments hidden in different parts of her body was 2.523 kilograms.

    Similarly, NDLEA operatives at Lagos International Airport intercepted a 22-year-old British national, Campell Kaizra Kofi Johannes Slifer, on 9th May while arriving from Thailand via Doha on a Qatar Airways flight. He was found in possession of two suitcases containing 35 parcels of Loud, a potent strain of cannabis weighing 37.60kg.
