The lady had, at the weekend, received a telephone call from her London friend about the arrival of a parcel with instructions on whom to hand it to once she collected it.
The parcel had arrived Lagos enroute Abuja, at the weekend, but officials of the courier firm in collaboration with NDLEA operatives decided to open the parcel before the beneficiary was allowed to take it away.
During checking, the vigilant operatives discovered a pack of cocaine. The parcel, a small container, has within it three packs of cocaine concealed inside a wall clock.
The lady under interrogation confessed that she met the man on Facebook and was under instruction to hand over the parcel to another friend also based in Abuja.
She also confessed that this was not the first time she would be collecting parcels from her London-based friend. Even the shoe she was wearing at the point of her arrest was said to be a 'gift' from the same friend.
