South Africa Arrests, Detains Nigerian For Drugs, Releases Accomplices On Bail by iamfraud(op): 7:27am On Dec 29, 2024
A Nigerian national, Theophilus Ejiofor, 48, has been jailed, while his South African girlfriend, Violet Magqoki, 28, was granted bail following their involvement in a drug-dealing incident in Lichtenburg, South Africa.

Ejiofor and his accomplice, 33-year-old Kgomotso Pholoholo, were arrested after selling drugs valued at R40,000, which included 649 mandrax tablets, 40 packets of crystal meth, and a plastic bag containing CAT drugs.

Lieutenant Colonel Tinyiko Mathebula, spokesperson for the Hawks in North West, confirmed the arrest, stating, “An undercover operation was conducted, which led to the arrest of the pair soon after selling drugs valued at R40,000.”

Mathebula also added, “A search was conducted at the Nigerian man’s house, where crystal meth with an estimated street value of R15,000 and CAT drugs valued at R6,000 were confiscated.”

His suspected accomplice, Pholoholo, was granted bail of R1,000, while Ejiofor remains in custody as his bail hearing is postponed.

Magqoki, who is believed to be Ejiofor’s girlfriend, faced an additional charge of corruption after attempting to bribe police officers to release him.

Mathebula said, “She was subsequently arrested and charged with corruption.”

Magqoki was granted bail, also set at R1,000, and her case, along with Ejiofor’s, will be revisited on Monday for further proceedings.

“The operation was part of ongoing efforts to combat drug dealing in the region,” Mathebula said.

Peddling drugs to any country is done at one's own peril. Drug dealers are well aware of the severe consequences that come with their actions. Most countries impose extremely harsh penalties, including capital punishment by hanging or firing squad. I'm sorry Mr. Ejiofor, but I have no single sympathy for you. Others should've been your muse and not that Iragbiji drunk drug dealer.

If Theophilus Ejiofor had successfully beaten South Africans security network, he would have been one of the successful hardworking young men from Anambra.

I saw something like "jail" in the report. Is that how South Africans are lenient? What happens to capital punishment so these demons from Hell will stop visiting SA with this their ungodly business.

Forget this one. You think it's only Nigeria that smuggle drugs to south Africa. Other countries are doing it, even south Africans are smuggling drugs to other countries including Nigeria . There's no country on earth that don't have drug dealers even in far middle east that the penalty is so severe, yet still we have Arabs drug dealers.

This is what we have been saying

It is difficult for a foreigner to individually do drug dealing in South Africa without some form of help by South Africans...

In this case, two South Africans helped this man to do drug trafficking, both of them are granted bail and would probably go back to the lucrative drug business while this man is held as the scapegoat...

Then tomorrow South Africans will blame Nigerians for drug trafficking instead of their corrupt society.

Richtaiwo:
Shut up.

So because the ungodly illicit drug criminal is igbo, the business of illicit drug trade is not only by Nigerians but also by other countries' nationals.

Laureta Onochie showed a video of 15,000 Canadians scrambling for palliative intended for 1,000 people yesterday, to show idiots that Nigeria is not alone in hardship, you all seized the opportunity to scream, swear and cursed Nigeria again.

Besides, how is Theophilus Ejiofor even a Nigerian?
shocked

Why can't the same palm wine drunkard Laureta Onochie share how the Canadian government handles the welfare of their citizens too, let's compare it with the nonsense the zoo government is doing here. Una dîck and clit de rise whenever it's time to compare any negative scenario from other countries but keep shut or act blind when it has to do with positive things there. I no blame una sha.

Richtaiwo:
Ipob and brains are enemies.

So distribution of palliative is not welfare?

So illicit drug trade is not negative enough for the country and should therefore be compared with other countries?

Ipob pigs are fools.
shocked

Your point of emphasis was not on the distribution of the palliative but rather how many people where scrambling for the palliative meant for only 1000k people. You were using the scenario to justifies the nonsense going on here in Nigeria as if Canada is not a billion times better than this zoo.


Batidiots are senseless and fools.

I thought you said they arrested a Nigerian? I didn't see any Nigerian name in the article.

[quote author=KolaAdeniran post=133487419][/quote]Sinedu I understand you're ashamed of the evil forest region you're from (any sane person would be). So, I understand you changing your name to that of a human so that people here would think you're a complete human and not a halfbred bonobo. I understand with you.

SouthAfricans should learn to be patriotic to their country.

If you are a SouthAfrican woman and your Nigerian husband or boyfriend that is living in SouthAfrica is into any shady dealings, ensure to report him to the relevant authorities.

Never be an accomplice to the destruction of your own country.
Re: South Africa Arrests, Detains Nigerian For Drugs, Releases Accomplices On Bail by Hemanwel(m):
If any Nigerian (whether Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa) commits the crime of drug peddling, he should be ready to do the time. No mercy!

My concern is those who are making a tribal fuss outta it.

Are Igbos the ones who are caught in the holy land of Mecca pushing drugs? Nor be Kamorudeen and Shehu dem dey catch for there?

Iranu oshi!
