According to Babafemi, Munju was arrested for importing large consignment of Canadian Loud, a strong strain of synthetic cannabis.
The suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on KLM airline flight from Canada at the Terminal 1 of the Lagos airport on October 3, 2024.
During a joint examination of her three bags, Munju, who was coming to Nigeria for the first time, was found with 74 parcels of the illicit substance weighing 35.20 kilograms stuffed in two of her three bags.
In her statement, she claimed she was recruited to traffic the consignment through an online platform for 10,000 Canadian dollars upon successful delivery in Lagos.
She said she took the offer because she needed the money to pay for her ongoing master’s degree programme in Canada.
