Kamara Oumou, a Senegalese, was arrested at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, Nigeria while attempting to board an Arik flight to Dakar after a one-week visit to her Nigerian lover, Hakeem.
33-year-old Kamara who was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, has said she got involved in drug trafficking because of love.
Oumou said she was not paid money to smuggle the drugs.
She said, “How can I ask my boyfriend to pay me? I smuggled the drugs because of the love I have for Hakeem.”
Hakeem and Oumou allegedly met in Dakar where Hakeem had lived for 11 years. The couple were said to have dated for six months before Hakeem returned to Nigeria in December 2012.
It was learnt that Hakeem invited Oumou to Lagos and checked into a hotel where they spent a week together.
Oumou said her lover brought the drug to her hotel.
She said, “The day Hakeem brought the package to my hotel room was my first time of seeing drugs. He said they were products which he couldn’t entrust to his business partners because they were unfaithful. He said he was giving them to me instead to bring into Dakar because he trusted me.
