Lagos Police Arrests Woman For Using 10-Year-Old Niece As Illicit Drug Trafficker

Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 44-year-old woman, for allegedly using her 10-year-old niece as a drug trafficker.

The suspect was one of the paraded suspects at the Lagos police command’s headquarters, Ikeja on Tuesday.

According to Lagos Police command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, operatives in Lagos State arrested the woman last Wednesday, after her niece was found roaming the streets.

According to Hundeyin, the divisional police at the Pen Cinema Police Division in Agege, ordered that the girl should bathe, while the police would look for her parents.

He said that while the girl was trying to bathe, the police discovered a substance suspected to be Cororado, which was planted in her panties.

“The discovery prompted further questions, which revealed that this has been going on for a long time; so, we had to extend investigation to her house, and we were able to bring her guardian (the suspect) to the police station.

“She did not deny it. She admitted that this had been her way to courier drug from her house to the shop she sells them, to beat police check.

” That is why we are exposing her to Nigerians,” he said.

Hundeyin said that the girl would be handed over to her family, while the suspect would be prosecuted.
