Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a 50-year-old widow and fashion designer, Mrs. Ifeoma Henrietta Ezewuike, for attempting to traffic 1.3 kilograms of cocaine concealed under a fake pregnancy.
According to a statement by NDLEA spokesperson Femi Babafemi, Ezewuike—mother of one and owner of Golden Star Creation, a fashion business located along Ago Palace Way in Okota, Lagos—was apprehended at a bus terminal in the Jibowu area of Yaba on Friday, August 22, 2025. She was en route to deliver the drug consignment to customers in Abuja.
A follow-up search at her residence led to the recovery of 200 grams of a cutting agent used in the production of a strain of cocaine.
In her confession, Ezewuike claimed she inherited the drug trafficking business from her late husband, who died two years ago.
