The Seychelles Supreme Court has remanded a Nigerian woman on conspiracy to import and traffic an illicit drug.
According to the Seychelles news agency on Monday, the 52-year-old woman is being detained after she was arrested at the Seychelles International Airport on Thursday after her arrival on an Ethiopian Airline flight.
The arrest of the woman comes from a search, discovery, and seizure of 250 grammes of what is suspected to be cocaine.
The Seychelles’ archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, has a zero-tolerance policy towards the trafficking and importation of illegal drugs. There is a maximum sentence of life in prison if found guilty. (The PUNCH)
