Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a 35-yr-old Kano based Businesswoman, Rabi Muhammad for attempting to move consignments of cocaine and opioids hidden in her stomach and fake baby bump through the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) Kano.
Muhammad was intercepted by NDLEA officers at the departure tarmac of Seme land border with a protruding tummy while attempting to cross to Cotonou in Benin Republic.
A full body search however revealed the absurd: her pregnancy was fake and her baby bump was designed with a pink coloured calabash used to conceal 3,200 capsules of tramadol, which she tied around her stomach and was taking to Cotonou to sell.
