A Nigerian part-time student in Mauritius has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to heroin trafficking.

Chidi Tobias Umegboro received the sentence on Wednesday from Judge Iqbal Maghooa, sitting in the Assizes court, after admitting to the possession of 194.5g of heroin intended for local market distribution, alongside the illegal possession of Rs 91,900 in cash.

In his judgement, Judge Maghooa issued a strong warning about drug trafficking in Mauritius, stressing the need for severe penalties.

“I consider that there is a great public interest that drug traffickers be treated with the utmost severity. The drug trade is a curse on our country and is ruining people’s future, especially the young,” the judge wrote.

The judge asserted that drug trafficking is a serious offence, stating, “it is clear that the accused was involved in a chain of distribution,” before imposing the 15-year term.

Umegboro was arrested on 11 March 2020 while walking on the road in Flic-en-Flac.

Officers from the Anti-Drug and Smuggling Unit (ADSU) intercepted him, searched a plastic bag he was carrying, and discovered pellets of heroin.

A subsequent search of his home uncovered and led to the seizure of the Rs 91,900 cash.

The Kharar police have arrested two persons, including a woman from Kharar and a Nigerian national from Delhi, and recovered 155 grams of ICE drug (methamphetamine) from their possession.

Superintendent of police (Rural) Manpreet Singh said the operation was led by DSP Kharar-1 Karan Singh Sandhu and Amrinder Singh, SHO City Kharar, along with their team.

According to police, the woman, a resident of LIC Colony, Kharar, had earlier been arrested on October 25 when 55 grams of ICE was recovered from her. Her husband is also in jail in a separate NDPS case. A case under Section 22 of the NDPS Act has been registered against her at the City Kharar police station.

During interrogation, the woman revealed her source of supply, leading the police to Delhi, where they arrested Kingsley Chinoso, a resident Nigerian national who resides in Chander Vihar, New Delhi. During the raid, police recovered 100 grams of ICE from his possession.

Officials said the woman is a habitual offender, with three previous NDPS cases registered at police stations in Mullanpur and Balongi. Chinoso also has a prior NDPS case registered under Sections 8(c), 21(c), and 23 with the Narcotics Control Bureau in Delhi.

Police confirmed that both accused are part of a larger network supplying drugs in the region. Further investigation is underway to trace other members of the syndicate and dismantle the network.

beerfraud...why are you so quiet? Is the Unity begging virus affecting your fingers to type your usual Nonsense?

TONYE001:
How can you compare alcohol consumption or trade with drug trafficking?
Just how?

TONYE001:
The simple question is, WHY should Sharia stop others from drinking? Why? Muslims should stop themselves from drinking, and keep the issue out of the face of others.

So, polygamy is not allowed in the scripture. Should we begin to arrest and prosecute every polygamist down South? And, of course, you and I know that Muslim polygamists would be in trouble if this were the case.

capatainrambo:
yes. Can you logically defend this without sounding stupid ?

Just pray Nigeria does not divide. You and your sharia friends will eat sand

mrvitalis:
The problem is freedom to do what I like,

The problem with you Muslims is you don't want to live and let others live.. You want your rule obey where you have majority but want to be given freedom where you are minorities

gidgiddy:
This one thinks that bringing up old fake News from the Northern daily trust will divert attention from APC woes? IPOB killed an unnamed woman, and her 4 unnamed children? In Orumba?

You guys need to to do more work with your fake news

sweerychick:
the truth keep making you guys look fuulish, everyone knows that all the killings in the SE is all a calculated propaganda targeted at IPOB. Paid and sponsored criminals by evil APC politicians in the SE disguised themselves as IPOB members started all those killing spree just to give IPOB a bad name. IPOB repeatedly denied any involvement but your dumbass APC thinks propaganda will always win. Let me ask you something? Why hasn't the US government proscribed IPOB, instead the only know Fulani militias? My dear the day of reckoning is here
