Officials say 'pregnant' woman was actually full of heroin

3/5/2012

Afolake Awoyemi told border-patrol inspectors that she was pregnant, but it's a good thing she wasn't -- there wouldn't have been space for a baby with all the heroin allegedly inside Mommy. The New York Daily News says customs officials conducted a partial strip-search after seeing the 42-year-old Nigerian national waddle off a plane from Paris. During the search, the woman started dropping heroin pellets from her groin. Awoyemi showed some guts: Authorities say she passed another 25 pellets in a commode dubbed the "Drug Loo."
