A Zambian national was intercepted at Freetown’s International Airport on Sunday morning after authorities discovered suspected cocaine concealed in her luggage.
The suspect, identified as Miriam Shamane, was apprehended at approximately 8:30 a.m. in the Hold Baggage Area while preparing to board an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
The discovery was made during a routine baggage screening. A subsequent examination was conducted in the presence of multiple agencies, including the Office of National Security (ONS), the Sierra Leone Police, and the Customs Department of the National Revenue Authority.
Following the investigation, Shamane, her Zambian passport (No. 2Q077540), and the seized substances were handed over to the Sierra Leone Police for further investigation and possible prosecution.
The incident comes in the midst of heightened reports of drug trafficking in Sierra Leone.
This prove that Sierra Leone is a major transit for such a hard substance, that destroy live. Shameful to keep a drug dealers in the country and pretending is out of the country for your own interests. Now such quantity of drugs defines the weakness of all authorities in the country if they couldn’t bring out the truth; who gave it to her, or who she is working for, and how such a large amount of drugs entered the country. If answers to this questions are not known publicly means the whole country is at risk for safety reasons or the authorities are not properly trained to protect the citizens and their properties, or being totally corrupt. Since this lady that is leaving the country been published out there with that amount of drugs we Sierra Leoneans and the rest of the world waiting for answers on how, where, when and whom she got those drugs from 🙌🏾. May God bless and protect us from those criminals that destroying our country 🙏🏾
