A Nigerian woman, Bola Adebisi s who last weekend set an unfortunate record at the Dulles International Airport when she tried to smuggle almost five pounds of Heroin into the United States of America has been charged to court.

Customs officials who arrested the 52-year-old woman said she ingested 180 thumb-sized pellets filled with $150,000 worth of heroin. She is charged with drug smuggling in federal court.

Officers became suspicious Saturday when Ms Adebisi said she was coming to the U.S. to visit her brother, but couldn’t describe him. A routine pat-down found her stomach to be abnormally rigid. An X-ray revealed the pellets and she was taken to the hospital.

A public defender declined to comment.

The previous record for an ingested drug seizure at Dulles occurred last year, when another Nigerian was discovered with more than four pounds of pellets.
