NDLEA arrests Iran-bound woman with cocaine in private part, stomach, bag at PH airport

  • NDLEA operatives arrested Ihensekhien Miracle Obehi on May 3, 2025, at Port Harcourt International Airport for attempting to export cocaine to Iran.
  • The arrest followed credible intelligence revealing Obehi concealed cocaine in her private part, stomach, and handbag while disguised in a hijab to evade detection.
  • Obehi ingested 67 capsules of the Class A drug and concealed an additional three packages within various parts of her body; she was then monitored until she passed all the ingested pellets over several days.
  • The total cocaine weight was 2.523 kilograms, and Obehi claimed she was instructed to swallow 70 pellets but could only ingest 67, inserting the remainder into her private part.
  • This interception highlights ongoing NDLEA efforts to disrupt drug trafficking routes, confirming intensified operations across multiple locations in Nigeria including recent major seizures.
