The Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected the bail plea of Nigerian woman accused of supplying mephedrone (MD), holding that there were no reasonable grounds to believe she was not involved in the offence. Justice Neela Gokhale also noted that she could commit the offence again or evade trial if released.

The accused, Blessing Amaka Okonko, was arrested on January 1, 2023, after a crackdown on drugs by the Ghatkopar unit of the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC). Okonko’s earlier bail plea before the special NDPS Court had also been denied.

According to the prosecution, on December 31, 2022, ANC officials had heard that narcotic substances were being sold in the city. That evening, while patrolling near the Mahim-Sion Link Road bridge, officers intercepted two men and recovered 40 grams and 110 grams of MD from them. During interrogations, one of the accused, Reddy Mallesh Shadkinur, named Okonko as his supplier.

ANC officers then traced Okonko in the early hours of January 1, 2023 and recovered 460 grams of MD from her jacket pocket, and then arrested her.

Okonko’s representatives argued that the police had failed to comply with mandatory provisions of the NDPS Act, including Sections 42 and 50, which require the accused to be informed in writing of their right to be searched before a magistrate or gazetted officer. Her representatives added that there was no call data records or digital evidence proving that the accused and the co-accused had spoken to each other. They also stressed that Okonko had already spent over two years in custody.

Opposing bail, the state said that all procedural safeguards under the NDPS Act had been followed. The state also pointed out that the accused was living illegally in India with her visa having expired, and argued that if she was released it would be hard to ensure her presence during the trial.

After reviewing the documents, Justice Gokhale held that the co-accused’s information was recorded in writing and forwarded to a senior officer. The court also accepted that Okonko had voluntarily consented to a personal search, ruling out any breach of Section 50, which says that officers must inform the accused of their right to be searched before a gazetted officer.

The court emphasized that the 460 grams of MD recovered from the accused amounts to a commercial quantity, which attracts the stringent bail restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act. It observed that “reasonable grounds” require a substantial probability of innocence which was not met in this case.

A 44-year-old man, identified as Obi Anthony Okoshuku, appeared in court following his recent arrest for alleged possession of crystal meth. He remained in custody after the appearance and is expected back in the Mdutjana Magistrate’s Court on 08 December 2025.

Okoshuku was arrested on Friday, 28 November 2025, at about 04h00 after police in Siyabuswa allegedly found drugs with an estimated street value of R110,000 in his vehicle.

According to the police, members were patrolling along the R568 road between Maphotla and Siyabuswa when they spotted a white Nissan NP200 bakkie with Gauteng registration plates. Officers gave chase after the driver allegedly failed to stop, and the vehicle was eventually cornered.

During the search, police recovered two containers filled with a white powder believed to be crystal meth, hidden inside bags. The vehicle was also seized as part of the investigation.

Captain Mpho Nonyane-Mpe confirmed the arrest and court developments, saying the case is being closely monitored.

“We appreciate the swift response of the members involved. Their vigilance led to the recovery of suspected drugs that would have made their way into our communities,” said Nonyane-Mpe.

The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga, Major General Zeph Mkhwanazi, also praised the officers. “The arrest of this suspect and recovery of the suspected drugs is a significant blow to illicit drug trafficking in our province,” he said.

Nnamdi Kanu will strut free very soon

Unfortunately this their little stunt with the APC judiciary has only served to boost his credibility among his tribesmen, and it will make it even more difficult to handle him and his violent rhetoric in future

Maybe it's some affirmation from the future.
Certainly not the present
