Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have foiled bizarre plot by a female drug trafficker, Rabi Muhammad, to move tramadol hidden in fake baby bump through the Seme land border in Lagos.
Rabi, a 35-year-old Kano based businesswoman, was intercepted by NDLEA officers at the departure tarmac of Seme land border with a protruding tummy on Monday 16th February 2026 while attempting to cross to Cotonou in Benin Republic.
The spokesperson of the agency, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, February 22.
“A full body search however revealed the absurd: her pregnancy was fake and her baby bump was designed with a pink coloured calabash used to conceal 3,200 capsules of tramadol, which she tied around her stomach and was taking to Cotonou to sell,” the statement read.
