Adekoya Mary, a 43-year-old Nigerian woman, was apprehended at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos while attempting to smuggle 2.2 kg of cocaine. Mary was reportedly traveling to India for fibroid surgery when customs officials discovered the illicit substance cleverly concealed in her luggage. This incident has raised grave concerns about drug trafficking routes and the exploitation of individuals seeking medical treatment abroad.

The Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has vowed to intensify efforts in combating drug trafficking, particularly at major international airports. Authorities are urging travelers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity, as such incidents not only jeopardize individual lives but also tarnish Nigeria’s image on the global stage.NDLEA
