The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has nabbed a Canadian lady, Adrienne Munju with a large consignment of ‘Canadian Loud’, a strong strain of synthetic cannabis.
The NDLEA confirmed Munju’s arrest at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday morning in a statement signed by its spokesman, Femi Babafemi.
“A 41-year-old lady, Adrienne Munju has been arrested by operatives of the NDLEA for importing a large consignment of ‘Canadian Loud’,” Babafemi said.
“The suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on KLM airline flight from Canada at the terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on Thursday, 3rd October, 2024.
“During a joint examination of her three bags, Adrienne who was coming to Nigeria for the first time was found with 74 parcels of the illicit substance weighing 35.20 kilograms stuffed in two of her three bags.”
In her statement, she claimed she was recruited to traffic the consignment through an online platform for 10,000 Canadian dollars upon successful delivery in Lagos.
She said she took the offer because she needed the money to pay for her ongoing master’s degree programme in Canada.
