Police arrest Nigerian drug dealer

Police in the commercial city of Blantyre have arrested a Nigerian national for being found with cocaine.

The suspect, 47 year-old Prince Chukwudi, was arrested last week at Chileka Airport when he had just jetted into the county.

Blantyre Police Assistant Public Relations Officer Andrew Mayawo confirmed the arrest and said the suspect, who is based in the country, was also found with Ivory worth K4 million at his residence in Nyambadwe where officers went to look for more drugs.

The suspect will soon appear in court to answer charges of being found in possession of dangerous drugs contrary to section 35 of the Pharmacies, Medicines and Poisons Board Act.
