Ting Hung Kiong is 63 and has a story that even she herself could not keep straight in front of the officers 😬

The woman landed at Lagos Airport, Nigeria, on May 17, 2026, after a flight from Thailand with a stopover in Dubai. She was carrying two large suitcases that caught the attention of the Nigerian anti-drug police (NDLEA). Inside were 31 kilos of “Canadian Loud”, a synthetic cannabis variant.

Her version? That she works as a caregiver in Malaysia, that her own daughter paid for the trip, and that she only received the package in Thailand to deliver it in Nigeria as a favor. The authorities did not believe a word she said and arrested her on the spot ✈️🚨

Now Malaysian police are searching for the daughter to question her, while the case adds to a wave of seizures at Nigerian airports, including nearly 2 million opioid pills found days later at the same location.
