Nigerian lady bags 10 years in jail for smuggling dr*gs in India

A Nigerian woman, Maryam Wano, has been sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) for smuggling her*in in India.


The court of District and Sessions judge Harreet Kaur Kaleka also slapped a fine of ?1 lakh on Wano, on Wednesday, September 29. Wano is the fourth Nigerian national to be sentenced to 10-hear rigorous imprisonment for smuggling her*in in Mohali this year.

She was arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) based on a tip off in May 201,8 near the old barrier in Phase 1. STF had recovered 280 gram of her*in her possession. Residing at Krishna Puri in New Delhi, the suspect was on her way to Mohali to supply the dr*gs to her customers. She was coming to Chandigarh from New Delhi, where she resides, to supply dr*gs to her clients when she was stopped.

Wano, who is believed to be in her thirties, told the police that she came to India in August 2016 on a medical visa and later started working in a beauty and hair salon. She, meanwhile, started the trade of carrying the dr*g from New Delhi and smuggling it to Punjab and neighbouring areas. She failed to produce her visa and passport, the police said. “She has been into dr*g peddling for over eight months before her arrest,” said Rajinder Singh Sohal, Superintendent of Police, STF.
