A 41-year-old Canadian lady, Adrienne Munju, has been arrested by operatives of the NDLEA, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, (MMIA) Ikeja Lagos.
Babafemi said that the Munju was nabbed for importing a large consignment of ‘Canadian Loud’, a strong strain of synthetic cannabis.
He said that the suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on a KLM airline flight from Canada at terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on October 3.
“During a joint examination of her three bags, Munju who was coming to Nigeria for the first time was found with 74 parcels of the illicit substance weighing 35.20kg 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,” he said.
