Authorities also revealed that Juliet who hails from Abia State, had established link with some Pakistani drug traffickers who sponsored her trip in collaboration with some local accomplices.
In her statement, Juliet said:
“I am a single mother and I need money to take care of myself and child.
I used to sell clothes but the profit is inadequate to sustain my family.
I would have earned half a million naira to pay for my rent and my child’s school fees if I had succeeded in bringing the drug.
They paid for my return ticket and hotel accommodation. While in my hotel room, a Pakistani woman came to give me the drug.
She also instructed me to conceal it in my private part to avoid arrest. Unfortunately, the NDLEA officers detected it.”
