Imo State Big Girl, Ulomma Ezeji, Caught with Cocaine In Lagos


As you read this, Ulomma Ezeji, a flourishing businesswoman is on her way to
prison after she was caught at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in
Lagos with 645 grammes of cocaine by the NDLEA.
"I am a trader.

I import ladies hand bags, shoes and clothes, but I make
little profit in my business. My boyfriend told me that I can make four times
my capital in one successful drug deal. He has been persuading me for long.
I decided to give it a trial to expand my capital base. I invested N2.3m in the
deal."

38-year-old woman made this confession to officials of the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency after her arrest at the departure hall of the airport during
screening of passengers. She was going to Turkey.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Hamza Umar, who confirmed her arrest, said,

“Ezeji
was found in possession of powdery substance that tested positive to cocaine on
her way to Turkey. We also gathered that she had invested N2.3m into the drug
business in anticipation of making high profit. The drug, which was carefully
hidden in her hand bag, was detected during screening of passengers.”

Ezeji, a native of Imo state, said she decided to take her boyfriend's advise
because of the high profit. She said, “Somebody was to receive the drug in Turkey
and give me my share of the money with which I had planned to buy goods in
France.”

In his reaction, NDLEA Chairman, Mr. Ahmadu Giade, said all those who wished to
make quick money from drug trafficking would end up like Ezeji, "in prison".
