On November 3, 2026, Farida Nansubuga, a 34-year-old Ugandan woman, was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). She was found attempting to board a flight to Uganda with 87 wraps of cocaine concealed around her private parts, weighing a total of 1.15 kilogrammes.

The arrest occurred at Terminal 2 of the airport, where NDLEA operatives intercepted Nansubuga as she prepared to leave Nigeria. This incident highlights ongoing efforts by the NDLEA to combat drug trafficking and smuggling operations within the country, particularly at major transit points like international airports.S1

Nansubuga's case is part of a broader crackdown on drug-related offenses in Nigeria, where authorities have been increasingly vigilant in monitoring and apprehending individuals involved in drug smuggling. The NDLEA has not disclosed whether Nansubuga was part of a larger trafficking network or if she was acting independently.S2
