Three foreign nationals, two Croatians and one Ukrainian, have also been charged in absentia over alleged connection with the drug network. Justice minister Oswald tweh said authorities would use domestic and international measures to locate and arrest them.

The investigation has since extended expanded to senior security figures as authority seek to identify alleged traffickers, financiers, organisers and those accused of protecting the operation.

"No office is too high, no political connection is too powerful, no nationality provides immunity, and no individual is beyond the reach of the law," the government said.

These are the people that are always quick to profile Nigerians as drug pushers.

Greedy people will always fall for this trap of easy money of drug trafficking.
Re: Former Liberia Vice President Howard Taylor Arrested Over $317m Cocaine Network by Heffalump(m):
If Maduro and Taylor can be arrested for drugs, then Tinubu must be arrested for his past involvement in drug trafficking too. He's not above the law. The FIB says he's a valuable Asset, I don't understand what they meant. The law must be followed.

We Nigerians have graciously donated Tinubu to American prison. cool

Arrested for a case that has already been sorted out by the American courts?

Guy was found guilty, punished by forfeiting the monies that were in his account.

He does not have to go to jail for Nigerians not to vote for him. If people vote for him inspite of that anteccedent, then we know Nigerians put their hand to do themselves. But as far as we know, the tinubu has not been trafficking cocaine or receieving money for cocaine since the year 1994.

So, you want corruption, more borrowing, poor taxation, no plan to get us to industries, more insecurity, poor funding for our education sector, and so forth, so that you can own the obidients.

Thanks. I guess you guys want to sacrifice your country because ....'obidents must cry'

While in the same country, almost half of the family in a particular tribe and region are also deeply rooted in drug trafficking, I rest my case.
