The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has intercepted a 42-year-old Indian woman, Ms. Neetu Neetu at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano State, with 72 parcels of heroin factory sealed in wafer wraps and packaged as chocolates.
The class A drug consignment weighing a total of 11 kilograms, according to a statement issued by the spokesman of the anti-narcotic agency, Mr. Babafeni Femi, was recovered from Neetu’s luggage after a thorough search, following processed credible intelligence, during an inward clearance of Qatar Airways flight QR1431 from Bangkok, Thailand via Vietnam and Doha at the arrival hall of the Kano airport on Friday 14th March 2025.
Babafeni Femi said the arrest of Neetu signifies a growing attempt by drug trafficking organisations to hire white ladies and foreign nationals to move illicit drugs through the Nigerian borders, a bid that vigilant NDLEA operatives have consistently frustrated with the aid of modern technological tools and proactive intelligence.
