Cocaine import: Two Chinese face trial in Nigeria
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has announced that all suspects arrested in connection with the importation of 450.400 kg of cocaine worth N4 billion from Chile into the country through the Lagos Tin Can Island would be prosecuted in the country.
According to the chairman of NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade, those likely to be arraigned soon included two Chinese businessmen, Richard Wang, 62, an importer of textiles and shopping bags; and Chiusen Fong, 54, a timber merchant, as well as a Nigerian, Alhaji Inua Mohammed, 56, who is a clearing agent.
It was gathered that the decision to arraign them in the country may have kept the Chinese in high spirit, since the law in China stipulates capital punishment for drug trafficking.
The NDLEA boss, who said the agency was not considering extradition for now, insisted that the suspects would be charged to court in the country as soon as investigation was concluded.
