The spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, February 22.
Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have thwarted an unusual scheme by female drug trafficker, Rabi Muhammad, who attempted to smuggle tramadol concealed in a fake baby bump across the Seme land border in Lagos.
Rabi, a 35-year-old Kano based businesswoman, was intercepted by NDLEA officers at the departure tarmac of Seme land border with a protruding tummy on Monday 16th February 2026 while attempting to cross to Cotonou in Benin Republic.
The spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, February 22.
“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,” the statement read.
