Two Chinese business men, and a Nigerian clearing agent, arrested last week for their involvement in the illicit trafficking of 450.4kg of cocaine are to be arraigned in Nigeria.

Explaining that all the suspects in connection with the unlawful importation, will be prosecuted in the country, Ahmadu Giade, Chief Executive of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), over the weekend, disclosed that the three prime suspects: Richard Wang, 62; Chiusen Fong, 54; and Inua Mohammed, 56, are to be arraigned soon. According to Mr. Giade, the decision to arraign the Chinese in Nigeria may have kept the foreigners in high spirit since the law in their country stipulates capital punishment for drug trafficking. “The agency is not considering extradition for now, for the suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigation is completed,” he said.

Nigerian claim ignorance

Speaking on how he unknowingly got involved in the illegal trade, Mr. Mohammed, the Nigerian clearing agent, said that Mr. Wong requested him to clear the container and convey the consignment to Ibadan before his was nabbed by the NDLEA. “I am a clearing agent. Richard Wang came to me to clear a container. He told me the container contained cigarettes and gave me N3 Million for the clearance. It was after my boys cleared it out of the port that NDLEA officers intercepted them,” he said in a statement made available by the anti-narcotics agency.

The NDLEA, however, disclosed that the seizure of 450.4kg of cocaine, worth about N4 Billion, which was imported from Chile at the Tin can Island Port, Lagos, was masterminded by an international drug syndicate that smuggles cocaine from South American countries to West Africa. “The agency had kept tab on the consignment which originated from Chile and passed through Peru, Bolivia and Antwerp to Tin Can Island Port,” said Mr. Giade. “The drug was neatly concealed in customized floor wood inside a container which was cleared and taken to a private warehouse at Iganmu, Lagos.”

Kudos to the Americans

The agency also commended the United States Drug Enforcement Administration for supplying the intelligence that led to the crackdown. “I am also happy with the role played by the Serious Organized Crime Agency of Britain,” said Mr Giade. “What this signifies is a good and cordial working relationship based on mutual trust and respect. The agency is determined to send all drug barons out of circulation to prevent criminal acts capable of disrupting peace and stability in the country.”

KILL HIM PLEASE.

Yes, executing drug traffickers iS a common practice in China, many Nigerians have been executed like this. .  But seriously i am still waiting to hear what the chinese goverment will say to this, and this news will never come to light in China,  The news will never be reported but if it's a foreign national, it will be painted red everywhere both in the local and national news,
A Nigerian was caught with 87kg of marijuana ,the highest ever since. I wonder how possible is that and this is one of the biggest set backs Nigerian citizens are facing in China, we have been given bad names , I hope justice is done with this Chinese involved but I know Nigerian goverment have no balls to deal with the Chinese government. See the picture for reference.

i SAID KILL HIM

Goodluck jonathhan please kill d fucker

I strongly believe these men should be killed the way they kill nigerians in china.They are bunch of fools and should be executed here in nigeria for their crimes.

Do you believe this actualy happen , or photoshopped?

This my country dey tire me at times,before you know it money will change hands and that will be the end of this case. If it was a Nigerian that was caught smuggling a teaspoon of cocaine,he would have be put on Death Row long before the news even got to the Press!

why should he be killed ? it is not in our laws to kill drug smugglers, however those nigerians who smuggled drugs in china knew that they could get killed if they got caught. are they crazy ? dumb ? or do they just have a death wish ? because i know no sane person can be that desperate as to sign their own death warrant by moving drugs in a country that kills drug dealers.

having said that though, africans as a whole suffer from inferiority complex. in kenya, if you kill someone, you will be strung up faster than you can blink. they will sentence you immediately and kill you if you are a black kenyan. well kenya also has a white population, leftover from the colonial era, of about 30,000, mostly british. well one of the white kenyans shot and killed a black kenyan. the silly kenyan judiciary system (made up of all black people) let him go because he is white. guess what ? the racist white man did it again. he shot and killed another black kenyan who was 'trespassing' on his farm. well this time around they locked him up for like 9 months and then released him. black people are mostly silly. if that was a black kenyan he would have been killed after the first murder. OR if that had been a black kenyan murdering a white person in the west ? he would have been hanging by his toenails, tarred, feathered and lynched. oh well, THE BLACK MAN. here is the story http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1178305/Anger-Kenyan-aristocrat-Thomas-Cholmondeley-jailed-just-months-killing-poacher.html

I heard on the news that the chinese drug lords begged to be tried in Nigeria. Because if they are tried in China, na death be that.
They themselves know that the chinese no dey look face. They even execute their own.

Nigerians are money conscious country.They cant call a spade a spade rather they will set them free on bail.

It's not only drug trafficking that carries death sentence in China,but corruption when the money involved is quite substantial.They have the highest number of execution in the world.And that is why their country is peaceful and the people obey the law.The Rule of law is strictly applied in China.Thats why the EFCC woman has been advocating we use chinese method"execution" to fight corruption in Nigeria,but no one seem to be listening to her.

whats the point in keeping a chinese man in jail and feeding him for 30 years when you can get him to pay you 100 million dollars in bribe for his freedom and then deport him to cotonou ? if you ask me, i think nigeria has a smart business sense   america is going bankrupt because they cannot afford to feed all their 3 million prisoners. they are starting to close some jails now and freeing non-violent offenders.

As if her own head won't roast if this law is to be implemented in Nigeria.
