Igwebuike was charged with attempting to possess 10 kilograms of
methamphetamine worth $10 million. He is currently in Australia on a
student visa.
ABC News reports
that police believe the drugs were illegally imported from China. The
32-year-old was arrested while attempting to board a bus that was going
to Sydney on Saturday
Australian
Border Force in Sydney said earlier this month that they had intercepted
a consignment of ornate Chinese fish statues, which were about 80cm
long by 20cm wide, containing the drugs.
ACT police took charge of the operation and continued with a controlled delivery of the drugs to Canberra.

The
drugs were first taken to a property in Kaleen in northern Canberra
police allege, where they were collected by Igwebuike and driven to a
second location also in Kaleen before being taken out of the statues.
Police
later arrested Igwebuike at the Jolimont Centre bus stop where he was
boarding a bus to Sydney with the drug packages on him.
