Woman, 56, Bags 10 Years For Cocaine Trafficking
Owolabi was convicted by Justice Rilwan Aikawa sitting at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
She was arraigned on one count by the National Drug Laws Enforcement Agency.
She pleaded guilty to the charge. While reviewing the facts of the case, the prosecuting counsel for the NDLEA, Mr. Ibrahim Abu, told the judge that Owolabi was arrested on May 19, 2017 at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
He said Owolabi was found in illegal possession of 330 grammes of cocaine during the outward clearance of a Qatar Airways flight to Saudi Arabia.
Abu told the judge that she acted contrary to Section 11(b) of the NDLEA Act, Cap. N30, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and was liable to punishment under the same Act.
In proof of the case, Abu tendered several items as exhibits, including Owolabi’s harmonised ECOWAS passport numbered 1808098653 and an e-ticket.
