Nigerian Arrested In Australia With $10m Hard Drug by byteHead(m): 6:01pm On Oct 18, 2015

A 32 year old Nigerian could be jailed in Australia for life for allegedly smuggling $10million worth of methamphetamine into the country inside a gaudy fish statue.

Sydney border force officers found 10kg of the highly addictive drug hidden, also known as ice, inside one of three gold-coloured fish statues destined for a residential address in Kaleen, north of Canberra.



Police were alerted and arrested the Nigerian after he picked up the statues, removed the drugs, and tried to board a bus bound for Sydney on Saturday. He will face an Australian Capital Territory Magistrate court on Monday.

The drug stash, which had been imported from China, was found on the man when he was arrested, police say.

The Nigerian, who arrived in Australia in July on a student visa, faces a maximum penalty of life in jail if he’s convicted of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of an illegal drug.
In September, two Nigerians were similarly arrested in Australia for importing more than 40kg of methamphetamine into the country.

The men were identified as 51-year-old Iwuchukwu Odemegwo and Chibuike Anyasor. The duo concealed the drug inside bar fridges and Jackie Chan-branded DVD players

The picture below is the gold fish statue where the drugs were kept

Life is a risk, more riskier when you take hard decisions...

But wait oh, after many years of struggling...
God bless those busy bodies who tried but fail this time.

Mum, I dedicate this FTC to you... You shall live long.

SMH! This is looking endemic. Our governors, Church and community leaders in the East need to work harder because this isn't a national issue. It hurts me to finally admit.

Shout out to all my hardworking people all over the globe.

I am now more convinced than ever before that this tribe is truly the hardest working tribe in Nigeria. Imagine daunting death to make money in Asia, what could be more audacious ?

Well I wish you success in your endeavour, you should also endeavour to relish your death sentence or jail time as you'd relished the wealth if your hustle was a success.
