NACOC retrieves cocaine from woman’s private part

● The convict

The Holy Bible talks of how “a woman is clothed with strength and dignity” but sadly, some women have decided to engage in negative practices which make them lose their dignity in society.

Paradoxically, a Liberian woman was recently arrested at the Kokoka International Airport with 30 pellets of cocaine hidden in her vagina and under her breasts which she was taking from her home country, Liberia, to Bangkok, Thailand.

Ms Wolo Maikplay Margaret was arrested by personnel of Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) on May, 2022, while transiting through KIA on board Qatar Airways, upon a tip-off.

The narcotic drug (cocaine) weighed 277.2101 grammes.

She was put before an Accra High Court presided by Justice Mary EkuaYanzuh on Wednesday, August 31,2022, where the culprit admitted her guilt for attempting to smuggle cocaine through Ghana’s major airport, and was jailed 10 years.

The court again ordered her to pay GH¢ 120, 000.00 (10,000 penalty Units)or she would serve additional three years prison term in default of payment.

Charges preferred against Ms Wolo(now Convict)  were: Attempted exportation and possession of narcotic drug without a Minister of Health Licence, in Violation of Sections 36 and 37 of Narcotics Control Commission Act , 2020 (Act 1019) respectively.
