An Accra Regional Tribunal on Wednesday found Margaret Seck, a Ghanaian resident in London, guilty of inserting 480.7 grams of cocaine into her private parts.
She was convicted and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
Mr. Justice Frank Manu, chairman of the tribunal, ordered that the cocaine be destroyed by the Narcotics Control Board.
Seck was charged with attempted exportation of a narcotic drug without lawful authority and possession of a narcotic drug without lawful authority.
Ms. Evelyn Keelson, a State Attorney, told the tribunal that on January 1, this year Seck arrived at the Kotoka International Airport to board a British Airways flight to London.
While going through pre-boarding formalities at the airport, the Narcotics Control Board officials suspected her to be carrying narcotic drugs on her body. She was taken to the 37 Military Hospital, where an X-ray examination was conducted.
The prosecutor said the examination revealed that she had some foreign materials concealed in her vagina and anus.
The convict said one John, a Nigerian national, gave the stuff to her to be delivered to someone in London for a fee of 2,000 Pounds Sterling.
Ms. Keelson said during interrogation, Seck removed two medium size bags containing cocaine from her vagina and 13 pellets from her anus, adding: "All the substances proved positive for cocaine, a narcotic drug, with a total weight of 480.7 grams".
