Andriene Munju, a 41-year-old Canadian woman, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison by the Federal High Court in Lagos for importing 74 parcels of Canadian Loud, a potent strain of synthetic cannabis, weighing 35.20 kilograms into Nigeria.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) apprehended Munju on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at Terminal 1 of the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, Lagos. She was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers arriving at the airport.
In addition to the 11-year prison sentence, the judge offered Munju an alternative of paying a fine of N50 million for each of the two counts she faced, bringing the total fine to N100 million.
