Giwa Ayoka Sikirat, a 53-year old grandmother, has been arrested with cocaine hidden in her hair. Madam Giwa was apprehended at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, NAIA, Abuja, while on her way to Pakistan to deliver the dangerous drug.
“There was no prior information on Madam Giwa as the drug was detected when a female officer carried out a body frisk on her during outward screening of passengers.”
NDLEA Abuja Airport commander, Mr Hamisu Lawan, said a 59-year old accomplice, Joseph Umunna, an indigene of Anambra State, who brought Madam Giwa to the airport, was also arrested.
It was discovered that the drug was concealed in her hair in Lagos by Umunna and his crew before she was taken to Abuja for the journey.
Madam Giwa hails from Kwara State. She and Umunna will be charged to court in line with the NDLEA Act for unlawful exportation and conspiracy to export 1kg of cocaine.
