The South African
Narcotics Enforcement Bureau (SANEB) have arrested a Nigerian drug kingpin who
has been on the run since December 2016. The Nigerian man whose identity is yet
to revealed had been initially asked to hand himself over after he was linked
to a clandestine laboratory, which was used to manufacture Crystal Meth in
Pomona.
In a recent police
raid, they arrested him and also seized drugs, chemicals and drug manufacturing
equipment estimated to be around R3 million from his hideout.
The 45-year-old who
made a brief appearance at the Benoni Magistrates Court on Friday, February 3,
2017, was charged with Drugs and Drug Trafficking of Act 140 of 1992.
Speaking after his
arrest, the head of Hawks in Gauteng, Major-General Prince Mokotedi, vowed to
continue bursting more drug lords in the country.
'We shall continue to
tear the strongholds of drug lords as we remain unambiguous in our fight
against drugs from communities which is included in our mandate,' he said.
