A desperate bid to smuggle thousands of tramadol pills across the border has ended in arrest for a Kano businesswoman as operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency caught 35-year-old Rabi Muhammad at the Seme land border in Lagos while she posed as heavily pregnant to evade detection.

In a statement on Sunday, Femi Babafemi, NDLEA's Director of Media and Advocacy, revealed the ingenuity behind the concealment.

'Strapped to her abdomen was a pink coloured calabash ingeniously crafted to simulate a baby bump and conceal 3200 capsules of tramadol. The opioids were intended for sale in Cotonou before further distribution.'

The arrest occurred last Monday February 16 2026 at the departure tarmac as Rabi Muhammad attempted to cross into Cotonou Benin Republic.

NDLEA officers grew suspicious of her conspicuously protruding belly during routine checks prompting a full body search that exposed the deception.

Muhammad from Kano State now faces serious charges for drug trafficking.

Sources close to the investigation describe her as part of growing networks resorting to extreme measures amid heightened border scrutiny.

Muhammad remains in custody as investigations continue into possible accomplices and the intended distribution chain.
