Nigerian nationals Okafor Ifeanyi Anthony, 36, and Adibe Paschal, 35, allegedly swallowed the drugs to sneak them into the Kingdom.“They were charged by the prosecutor with transporting drugs under article 40 of the Cambodian Law on Drug Control,” Gen. Suthy told Khmer Times.“They now have been sent to prison for further investigations and are awaiting trial.”
Anti-Drug Department Chief Lieutenant General Khieu Saman said the two suspects were en route from the United Arab Emirates.
“They were arrested by our police after the immigrant police X-rayed them and found drugs hidden in their abdomens,” Gen. Saman said.
“They were arrested by our police after the immigrant police X-rayed them and found drugs hidden in their abdomens,” Gen. Saman said.
“They swallowed more than one kilogram of drugs,” he added, saying that to retrieve the drugs, police fed the alleged traffickers papaya and glasses of milk, collecting the contraband as nature took its course.
“For this case, in order to get the drugs from them, other developed countries in the world will cut open their stomachs because they are drug criminals,” Gen. Saman said.
“For our country, we just gave them papayas and milk. The hidden drugs will drop soon out from their stomachs,” he added.
A total of 70 packages of cocaine weighing 1,039.1 grams were ultimately seized from the men, who if found guilty of drug trafficking could each face up to 25 in prison.
