The Nigerian man and his two girlfriends after they were caught
Hehehe.......... Two women and a Nigerian man have been arrested by security operatives in Malawi for trafficking drugs.
A 43-year-old Nigerian, Christian Osingwelen, has been arrested
with two Malawian ladies for drug trafficking, The Nation has reported.
The trio were arrested at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) in Lilongwe
for illegal possession and importation of the dangerous drug called
Ephedrin contrary to section 11 (a) Regulation 19 of Dangerous Drug Act.
The report revealed that two women were identified as 39- year-old Lusungu Mlenga and 33-year-old Nkhata Bayand Rita Juma.
Airport Police Branch Public Relations Office Sapulain Chitonde Lee
told Malawi News Agency (Mana) police received a tipoff from MRA
Officers working in the arrivals hall that Mlenga is suspected to be
collecting a table with drug concealment.
“Police searched the table and found packets of unknown powder
and later broke one of packet to see the powder where they found a
dangerous drug called Ephedrin.
“We are yet to finalise interrogating the three to where the drugs were coming from and who owns it,” said Chitonde.
Chitonde added that Mlenga received a phone call from an unknown
person (name withheld) to collect a table from the airport, which had
gone missing.
He said that USD2000 and additional MK700, 000.00 was paid as
custom clearance for the table from MRA without knowing what was inside.
“Juma, a girl friend to the Nigerian man received a call from
his friend to collect 1000 USD in town and give it to him at the airport
without telling her the use of the said money.
“The Nigerian while accepting the statements from his friends
is, however, denying ownership of both the table and the drug, despite
giving Mlenga all the money to clear the table at MRA,” said Chitonde.
He further said MRA officers who handled the matter revealed to the
police that Mlenga tried to bribe them with the said amount taking
advantage that they were all women who needed to be helped saying if
they felt they needed they should get it from the Nigerian.
“We are thanking MRA Officers for being professional when
discharging their duties and tipping them about the three who they
managed to get hold of them until police were informed.”
