Nayele Ametefe was sentenced on her own plea by the Isleworth Crown Court in London Tuesday afternoon.
Reports indicate that Nayele appeared in court well dressed and looked indifferent when the sentence was handed down.
An aggressive family member of the convicted drug courier was said to have attacked some members of the press outside the court after the sentence was pronounced.
On what transpired in court, it is reported that the prosecutors said the cocaine carried by Nayele had a purity of 76% and a street value of 1.8 million Pounds.
The prosecutors told the court Nayele had $26,000 and an additional 6,000 Pounds in her handbag when she was arrested.
The money was believed to be payment for her courier services.
According to the prosecutors, Nayele Ametefe, whose brazen act shocked even the most daring daredevil, was carting the cocaine to South America.
Her travel itinerary, the court was told indicated that she was leaving the United Kingdom two after her arrival, for the Dominican Republic.
The 12 kilograms of cocaine was, therefore, not meant to be consumed in the UK.
