THE National Drug Law Enforce- ment Agency (NDLEA), said a 48- year old mother of three children, Mrs. Saidat Bola Hassan, who was appre- hended at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Inter- national Airport (NAIA) Abuja Friday, vomited 15 wraps of white powdery substances that later tested positive as cocaine.
The incident took place at the cen- tral screening section of the departure hall during screening of passengers on an Egypt Airline flight to Jedda, Saudi Arabia en-route Cairo. She was im- mediately apprehended by officers of
the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) who discovered that she had ingested 80 wraps of co- caine weighing 904 grammes.
NDLEAAbuja airport Commander Mr. Hamisu Lawan, said efforts were made to protect her from any harm re- sulting from drug ingestion. “As soon as we discovered that the suspected wraps she vomited tested positive for cocaine, we took measures to ensure her safety by preventing any harm that may result from drug ingestion. While under observation, she excreted 65 similar wraps. In all, she ingested eighty wraps of cocaine weighing 904 grammes; her case is under investiga-
tion” Hamisu stated. Saidat Bola Hassan, a native of
Idiroko, Ogun State who resides in Lagos Island claimed to be a business woman dealing in clothing materials. According to her, “I am a business woman and I sell women clothes at Balogun market. I used to buy my goods from Ghana. I was introduced into the drug business by a friend and business partner.
The drug was brought from Abi- djan, Ivory Coast and we were to share the proceeds equally. Until my arrest, I never knew that the cocaine I ingested would have led to my death in Saudi Arabia.
