The Nigerian drug traffickers after they were caught
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency operatives have arrested two Nigerian drug traffickers with about 500 grams of shabu and counterfeit drugs amounting to P2.5 million (N17,334,000)
The drugs were seized in an entrapment operation in Bacoor, Cavite, Friday.
Upon testing, it was found that only 2 sachets contained shabu, while the remaining 9 sachets had isopropylbenzylamine, known as “fake shabu.”
“We are looking at the possibility that the drug syndicates are facing supply problems that’s why they’re selling fake drugs,” Aquino said.
Both suspects denied they were drug peddlers, claiming they are students in Metro Manila.
Intelligence reports linked Chukwuebuka and Chimaobi to an African drug syndicate operating in parts of Cavite, Aquino said.
Authorities have yet to verify if they have ties to international drug cartels.
The suspects are temporarily under the custody of PDEA’s regional office in CALABARZON and will be facing charges for alleged violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
