Summary
A 49‑year‑old Nigerian woman, Aisha Ahmed, also known as Gloria Anwulika Aro, was arrested in 2014 in Dublin under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Italy. The warrant accuses her of being a promoter, leader and organiser in an association that imported, sold, distributed and traded large quantities of cocaine in Italy between 1999 and 2000. She was given a 22‑year sentence in 2005, later reduced to 20 years. The High Court adjourned the extradition ruling for three weeks, with the next hearing set for February 8, and she remains on continuing bail.
