The Lagos State Police Command has nabbed a female trader, Taye Abass, who allegedly trafficked a hard drug known as Colorado, through her niece (name withheld) to evade police checks.

The woman who lives in the Oko Oba area of Lagos confessed to the offence while being paraded by the police at the state headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos on Tuesday.

Abass said she always used the girl to transport the drugs from their house to her shop to avoid being checked, as no one would suspect a small girl.

Abass said, “When I went to Ilorin, my mother asked me to bring her with me to Lagos about two months ago. I sell drinks. When she got to my place, feeding was hard. Where I usually take my drinks for sale, somebody then introduced me to Colorado that I should be selling it. He told me the police always arrested people selling it. So whenever I am taking the drinks for sale, I usually put it (the drug) in her underwear, and ask her to put it in the shop where I always collect it back from her.”

The woman who pleaded for leniency, begged for forgiveness saying it was because of hardship, adding that other accomplices had run away.

Speaking, the underage girl said she was brought to the police station and when she wanted to bathe, the drug was found on her body.

“I told them it is my sister’s mum that put it on me. She started putting it on me when I came to her place.

“She used to sell it but I don’t know those that do come to buy it. She tells me she puts it on my body because the police can not search me,” the girl said.
