A notorious Nigerian drug lord who has been deported twice was arrested again in the country on Tuesday, a pattern that is continually raising questions about the country’s immigration system.

Emmanuel Peter Enobemhe was deported in 2013 alongside the controversial Antony Chinedu, after being found with 425 sachets of heroin.

However, the Nigerian drug lord, managed to sneak back into the country and was arrested in Saika estate in the larger Obama neighbourhood of Nairobi early this week....


A young woman who runs a business in the building describes Enobemhe as a Casanova who would escort a woman out of his house and then come back to hit on her.

“There were always women leaving his apartment. Different types of women that he would hug and say goodbye to and then he would come here and tell me he wants me to be his girlfriend,” she said.

The description of the women is consistent with statements from the police that the suspect used young, ignorant women as “mules” to transport the drugs.

When he was arrested in September 2013, for instance, he was in Jacaranda Estate with 425 sachets of heroine alongside a Kenyan woman just a few hours after the woman arrived from Tanzania.

Then, investigations had revealed that the suspect sneaked back into the country through the Namanga border using a different passport.

He told the investigators that he flew to Tanzania and stayed there for three days then drove to Kenya.

He left the drugs there and the woman went to Tanzania on September 10 to collect it....

Police say he also owns two matatus registered in the name of a Kenyan woman.
