Grandma caught with 1.740kg of cocaine.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said yesterday that it arrested a 65 year-old grandmother, Hassan Fatimat Abike, also known as Chika Okoye, while attempting to smuggle 1.740kg of cocaine into London in herbal syrup.
"This is not her fist time of going to London and the drug was cleverly packed to avoid detection. It was packed in balloons and inserted in ten plastic containers of herbal syrup," NDLEA said.
The agency added that the suspect was about to board a British Airways flight when its officers arrested her on Wednesday.
According to the Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, the suspect has two international passports with numbers A03348648 and A3771781A.
"She was caught during the screening of British Airways passengers to London. The cocaine found in her possession was packed in balloons and prepared into plastic bottles. It was also wrapped in black polythene bags. Each bottle was neatly sealed to avoid suspicion," he said.
