A 38 year old mother of three, Rashidat Abdulkarim,
who was arrested by officials of the National Drug
Law Enforcement Agency for attempting to export
2.04kg of cannabis to South Africa has accused her
husband of setting her up.
According to The Nation, the dried weed found in her
luggage at the cargo section of Nigerian Aviation
Handling Company, tested positive for cannabis and
was concealed in cartons of seasoning cubes.
Rashidat, who sells female shoes and hand bags said
that she is still in deep shock that cannabis was found
in the parcel her husband told her to collect from a
man which she was supposed to deliver to him when
she gets to South Africa
“I am in shock and pained that my husband is
behind my problem. My husband sent twenty-
eight thousand naira to buy locally made
textiles. He also told me that one man will
bring food seasoning and herbal medicines to
me. I bought the textiles and added it to the
seasoning bought by the man. On getting to
the airport, drug was found inside the carton
of seasoning. I am so sad and disappointed. I
struggle to fend for myself and my three
children. Even before my husband traveled to
South Africa, he left me with the upkeep of
the family. I have suffered so much financial
neglect. I have never smuggled drugs all my
life. He had done the worst. My eldest child is
only thirteen years”she said
