A suspected member of a West African
drug syndicate was caught with P1-million worth of shabu (methamphetamine
hydrochloride) on Tuesday night and has been detained here since then.
The Philippine Drug Enforcement
Agency (PDEA) has started preparing the charges against Ejiye Okoye.
Okoye, a 33-year-old Nigerian who
went by the alias Martin, was arrested in a buy-bust operation at a restaurant
in Marikina City, PDEA Central Luzon director Emerson Margate said.
Margate said the syndicate has been
operating in Metro Manila and Central Luzon provinces.
Okoye used football coaching in the
country to “camouflage his illegal activities.” He has been living in the
Philippines for two years now.
PDEA national and regional agents
confiscated six medium-sized re-sealable transparent plastic sachets containing
shabu valued at P1.05 million.
PDEA is charging Okoye for violating
the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
