A 52-year-old Nigerian woman has been remanded in prison by the Seychelles Supreme Court on conspiracy to import and traffic an illicit drug into the country.
According to the Seychelles news agency, the Nigerian woman was arrested at the Seychelles International Airport on Thursday after her arrival on an Ethiopian Airline flight.
The arrest of the woman comes from a search, discovery, and seizure of 250 grams of what is suspected to be cocaine.
Seychelles’ archipelago in the western Indian Ocean, has a zero-tolerance policy towards the trafficking and importation of illegal drugs.
There is a maximum sentence of life in prison if the suspect is found guilty.
