Pregnant Woman Excretes 51 Wraps of Cocaine at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

The story of 38 year-old Mbechi Obiageli Susan, a Nigerian woman who was caught with 51 wraps of cocaine is an astonishing one. It’s not the first time a Nigerian woman would be caught using desperate measures to import or export cocaine; what makes her case more interesting is the fact that she is three months pregnant and ingested 51 wraps of cocaine in an attempt to bring the illicit drugs into Nigeria.

Mbechi who resides in Brazil was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on her way from Sao Paulo, Brazil, by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) after she was discovered with cocaine with the aid of a scanning machine. She excreted 51 pellets of cocaine weighing 900 grammes and claimed poverty led into is the reason behind her action.

Why do they always blame their action on poverty and the devil. This is one of the reasons why Nigerian’s are often times humiliated and embarrassed at the airport in other countries.
