Two Nigerians have been arrested in South Africa allegedly due to selling drugs to students in one case and possession of drugs in the 2nd.
Two Nigerian nationals have been arraigned before the Polokwane and Botlokwa magistrate’s courts on charges of possession and dealing in drugs following their arrests on Thursday.
One of the men was arrested for selling drugs to learners from schools adjacent to the Flora Park dam, while the other was found in possession of drugs.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo says members of the Provincial Organised Crime and Crime Intelligence units received information about a 41-year-old man selling drugs to learners and a sting operation was conducted at the dam.
“The suspect was found sitting in a white sedan. Police requested to search his vehicle and 500 balls of heroin with an estimated street value of R20 000 was found concealed in the dashboard,” his statement reads.
Mojapelo says the operation continued and led to the arrest of another Nigerian man (44) along the N1 north near Botlokwa who had allegedly received heroin from the first suspect for further distribution.
“Police investigations continue,” he concludes.
