NDLEA Arrests 42yr-old Indian Woman With 72 Parcels Of Heroin
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested a 42-year-old Indian lady, Ms. Neetu Neetu for being in possession of 72 parcels of heroin factory sealed in wafer wraps and packaged as chocolates.

Neetu was arrested by operatives of the NDLEA at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, MAKIA, Kano, on Friday, 14th March 2025.

A statement issued by the spokesman of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi said the Class A drug consignment weighing a total of 11 kilograms was recovered from Neetu’s luggage after a thorough search, following processed credible intelligence, during an inward clearance of Qatar Airways flight QR1431 from Bangkok, Thailand via Vietnam and Doha at the arrival hall of the Kano airport.

“The arrest of Neetu signifies a growing attempt by drug trafficking organisations to hire white ladies and foreign nationals to move illicit drugs through the Nigerian borders, a bid that vigilant NDLEA operatives have consistently frustrated with the aid of modern technological tools and proactive intelligence, Babafemi quoted the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, retired Brig.- Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa as saying in his immediate reaction to Neetu’s arrest.
