Kamara Oumou with the drugs


By Oghenekevwe Laba
A 33 year old Senegalese woman was arrested at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos by officers of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) with six wraps of heroine weighing 165 grammes inserted in her private and another three parcels of cocaine weighing 515 grammes sticked to her waist with industrial tape.
During interrogation the suspect identified as Kamara Oumou with international passport number 400680371 confessed that she did it because of the love she has for her Nigerian boyfriend which she named Hakeem. She was arrested while attempting to board an Arik flight to Dakar.

A statement signed by Ofoyeju Mitchell Head, Public Affair, NDLEA, made available to Urhobotoday quoted NDLEA airport commander, Mr Hamza Umar as saying that the suspect used industrial tape in sticking three parcels of cocaine weighing 515 grammes on her waist while 6 wraps of heroin weighing 165 grammes were inserted in her private parts. In his words, “it was a carefully concealed method but not intelligent enough to escape our detection”.
However, unlike most drug couriers that smuggle drugs for money; Kamara Oumou shocked her investigators when she said that she smuggled the drugs for the love she had for her Nigerian boyfriend. “How can I ask my boyfriend to pay me? I smuggled the drugs for the love I have for my Nigerian boyfriend” Kamara stated. She simply identified her boyfriend as Hakeem.
Preliminary investigation revealed that they both met in Dakar where Hakeem is believed to have lived for 11 years. Their relationship lasted only six months before Hakeem left Dakar in December 2012. Hakeem invited Kamara to Lagos from Dakar and lodged her in a hotel where they both spent a week together. Within this period, he made necessary arrangement for Kamara to go back with the drugs.
In her statement, Kamara said that it was her first time of seeing drugs. “I have a good relationship with Hakeem until my arrest. The day he brought the drugs to the hotel room was my first time ever of seeing drugs. He called the drugs products and that his business partners are unfaithful and he wants me to take the products to Dakar because he had trust in me. Hakeem taught me how to pack the drugs and also took care of my travel arrangements. He said that he lives in the east but he took good care of me in the hotel in Lagos. We were to travel together to Dakar but he suddenly changed the arrangement. Hakeem travelled to Dakar a day before my trip” Kamara stated.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA Ahmadu Giade advised members of the public to be careful of the tricks employed by drug trafficking syndicates. “It is wrong to commit a criminal act. No reason is strong enough to engage in drug trafficking. Drug barons may claim to be in love with unsuspecting couriers. They may even present themselves as philanthropists, members of the public are advised to shun drug trafficking” Giade urged. The suspect will soon be charged to court.
