A 52-year-old Singaporean, who accepted free air tickets from her "benefactors" to seek medical treatment overseas, was duped into becoming a drug courier, reported China Press.
She was arrested at an international airport in Sweden for possessing 5kg of heroin in her luggage.
The drug is said to be of high quality and worth RM3.3mil in the market.
The victim, who was reportedly suffering from haemorrhoids, had first befriended her Nigerian benefactors in Kuala Lumpur several months ago.
The Nigerians then agreed to sponsor her air tickets to South America and Europe where she could seek advice from medical experts to treat her ailment.
It was reported that the victim, who worked as a security guard, did not realise that the Nigerians were actually members of an international drug syndicate.
