Na wa o! When did Nigerians start smuggling drugs from the US to Europe?!

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A German man was caught with more than a kilogram of cocaine inside his digestive system at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.

Authorities said Christopher Adiegwu, 43, was trying to catch a plane from Las Vegas to London on August 17, when U.S. Customs officers inspected him after becoming suspicious that he was carrying narcotics.

Officers took Adiegwu to a nearby hospital for X-rays, where they found several dozen pellets in his upper digestive system.

He was given laxatives, and eliminated 81 plastic pellets containing cocaine, about 1.2 kilograms.

Adiegwu was charged in a criminal indictment filed on Tuesday. He faces federal drug charges for possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute.

If convicted, Adiegwu could face five to 40 years in prison and a $5 million fine.

His arraignment has been set for Sept. 9.

Authorities said Adiegwu is a German citizen and a native of Nigeria. He originally arrived in the U.S. at Los Angeles International Airport on August 5.

The case is being investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations.

another one bites the dust!

Wrong and deceptive title! There is no such thing as "Nigerian-German", it is either he is a German, or he is a Nigerian. I have never heard anyone being referred to as Nigerian-American or Nigerian-British; a ridiculous and downright callous murder of the English Language. The man is a German passport holder originally from Nigeria, NOT Nigerian-German!

We have Nigerian Americans over here, and a lot of Nigerians that acquire European passports keep their Nigerian passports as well. You seem really angry at something. Is the guy your brother? Or are you the godfather that sponsored the trip?

Guy, I am saying that Nigerian-German is a wrong and deceptive use of English Language, and you are alluding that I must have sponsored the trip. Anyway, totally disregard my correction, continue with your verbal diarrhoea; just don't say this kind of thing in a gathering of educated and enlightened men!

Yet, I doubt you would know what "enlightened" means if it got up and slapped you in the face. Please get out of here with this nonsense; you're annoying.
