BACOOR, Cavite – Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives confiscated P2.5 million worth of drugs from a Nigerian national here Sunday following a buy-bust operation.
The Nigerian was identified as one Stanley Chukwuemeka, 39. He was arrested at around 8:45 a.m. along with his Pinoy cohort identified as Jayson Maligawa.
The two are now being held in detention at Camp Vicente Lim, Laguna.
Only last March, PDEA agents also arrested two Nigerians in a buy-bust operation here, confiscating 500 grams of shabu in the process.
Authorities believe the Nigerians are part of a West African drug syndicate operating in and around Asia.
