A 36-year-old lady, Chioma Afam, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency in Benue State along with her partner, Peace Caleb, 22.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nAfam, who used multiple identities and wore hijab to evade security scrutiny, was said to have been arrested with her accomplice while trying to smuggle 296,000 tablets of Diazepam and Exol-5 from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Gombe State.<\/p>\n

The NDLEA Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, confirmed the arrest in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cChioma (Afam), who uses multiple names such as Amina, Uzoamaka and Ifunaya to cover her criminal activities, was arrested on Saturday, July 17, 2021, along with the 22-year-old Peace Chidinma Caleb, who also wears hijab as a cover for her nefarious activities during routine checks and profiling of inward vehicles into Makurdi, the Benue State capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir vehicle coming from Onitsha, Anambra State, was intercepted along the Makurdi-Alliade Road while heading for Gombe State via Makurdi.<\/p>\n

\u201cA search of their vehicle led to the discovery of 43 kilograms of Diazepam and 33kg of Exol-5, both weighing 76 kilograms with a total of 296,000 tablets packed in four large Ghana-must-go bags.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cCuriously, the two interstate drug traffickers have rebuffed efforts to take pictures with the exhibits without wearing their hijab.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
