A 41-year-old Canadian woman, Adrienne Munju, was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for importing a large amount of synthetic cannabis known as ‘Canadian Loud.’
The arrest took place during the inspection of passengers arriving on a KLM flight from Canada on October 3, 2024.
According to the NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, Adrienne was traveling to Nigeria for the first time. A search of her three bags revealed 74 parcels of the illegal substance, weighing 35.20 kilograms, hidden in two of her bags.
In her statement, Adrienne claimed she was recruited online to traffic the drugs for a payment of 10,000 Canadian dollars. She accepted the offer to help pay for her Master’s degree in Canada.
