Mary Yetunde Barek, a 67-year-old British-Nigerian grandmother has been arrested at Lagos airport

Accused of trying to smuggle cocaine onto a London flight. Nigeria's drug agency says the drugs were hidden inside plantain peels — 31 wraps packaged to look like real bunches of fruit, weighing around 13 kilos. Officers say she was stopped from boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight and admitted the drugs were hers. It's one of a string of recent seizures as West Africa becomes a major hub in the global cocaine trade.#Cocaine #Nigeria #Lagos #News #BorderForce • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
