Ugandan Evangelist Arrested at Lagos Airport With 87 Cocaine Wraps

NDLEA operatives arrested Ugandan evangelist Nansubuga Faridah at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. The agency said officers found 87 wraps of cocaine, weighing about 1.15 kilograms, strapped around her pelvic area beneath two layers of underwear during a search before her flight to Uganda. Faridah said she had arrived in Nigeria on October 29 with a church delegation for a missionary visit and prayer session at The Synagogue Church of All Nations. She remained in Nigeria after the other members returned home, according to her account. She told investigators that a friend in Uganda connected her with a contact in Nigeria, who allegedly gave her the cocaine at a hotel. Faridah said she expected to receive at least $1,000 for delivering it.
