A Niger­ian na­tion­al caught try­ing to ex­port co­caine in fish­ing reels to the Unit­ed King­dom has been jailed for 30 months.

Amaeike Frank Ile, 40, of En­ter­prise, Ch­agua­nas plead­ed guilty dur­ing a vir­tu­al ap­pear­ance be­fore San Fer­nan­do Mag­is­trate Anslem Le­an­der.

The court heard that around 2.15 pm PC Mat­loo re­ceived in­for­ma­tion and went to the TTPost of­fice where he met Ile at the counter.

He had al­ready signed the ex­por­ta­tion doc­u­ments to send the pack­ages to the Unit­ed King­dom. When Mat­loo told him about the in­for­ma­tion he had, Ile said: “Of­fi­cer, it have about 150 grammes of co­caine in the pack­ages.”

Up­on ex­am­in­ing the pack­ages, Mat­loo ob­served five fish­ing reels con­tain­ing co­caine in a pow­dery form, wrapped in car­bon pa­per with clear tape.

When cau­tioned, he said: “This is the first time I do­ing this.”

He was ar­rest­ed and tak­en to Mara­bel­la Po­lice Sta­tion where Cus­toms and Ex­cise of­fi­cers were con­tact­ed. Cus­toms Of­fi­cer Rishi Sama­roo sub­se­quent­ly charged Ile for at­tempt­ing to ex­port pro­hib­it­ed goods and pack­ag­ing items in a man­ner to de­ceive Cus­toms and Ex­cise of­fi­cers.

Mat­loo charged him with pos­ses­sion of 175 grammes of co­caine for the pur­pose of traf­fick­ing. Ask­ing for le­nien­cy, Ile’s at­tor­ney Cedric Nep­tune said it was ev­i­dent by the penal­ties that the of­fences were se­ri­ous.

How­ev­er, he not­ed that Ile had no pre­vi­ous con­vic­tions or pend­ing mat­ters.

He said Ile en­gaged in the il­le­gal ac­tiv­i­ty be­cause he was in dif­fi­cul­ties with as­so­ciates. How­ev­er, Nep­tune said Ile ac­cept­ed re­spon­si­bil­i­ty for his ac­tions and was re­morse­ful.

Cus­toms and Ex­cise se­nior pros­e­cu­tor Har­richa­ran Kassie asked the mag­is­trate to con­sid­er the se­ri­ous­ness of the of­fence.

He ten­dered the pack­ages, the fish­ing reels, co­caine and the ex­por­ta­tion doc­u­ments bear­ing Ile’s sig­na­ture in­to ev­i­dence.

Pros­e­cu­tor Cley­on Seedan was al­so in the mat­ter.

The mag­is­trate sen­tenced him to 30 months on each charge to run con­cur­rent­ly.

Ile faced an­oth­er charge of pos­ses­sion of co­caine for the pur­pose of traf­fick­ing. This stemmed from a search of his home where the po­lice al­leged­ly found 446 grammes of co­caine.

That mat­ter was trans­ferred to the Ch­agua­nas Court and would be heard next Wednes­day.

Not sure if I’m impressed or not!!!

Lol, this nairaland has turned everyone to checking names. Na wa ooo

Damnnn niggarrrr

Niggarrrrs be doing dope shit to make some dope money

You sure his name is not EDward?

No need to check the name, the shape of his head has already given away his ethnicity.

Al Capone once said"I am just a business man, satisfying a demand for a product'

if there is no demand, there is no supply

Igbos are smart people, we are not the first to sell drug in the world

2004 when I was used as a drug mule between Texas and D.c. I made cool cash, the problem is that you should never be greedy, igbos are very greedy, that is why they are easily caught.

but the hausa man is not easily caught, even though they are the major drug dealers in Africa, they disguise as Bedouin traveller and traffic drugs to morroco and the middle East.

hausa are not too greedy, and they share the cash equally

Can the landlocked 5 eastern states be given Biafra for a start?

Let there be a clause for any group who chooses to join to be allowed to leave Nigeria after 5 years of Biafra's existence.

This nigerian drug magnate is a disgrace.

At age 40 see wetin dae ur mind

Despite these arrests, many of them are still hardened and would continue trafficking.

Developerssssss on dah beats

Na wa........

Our brother on the beat again....

Nobody holy. Lots of you here are hypocrites. Many do stuffs at their various workplace just to get extra cash, and you are here shouting.
All of you castigating him should keep shut. Most of us here at home are doing things worse just to earl living, Stop the fuckery, Stop the tribal affiliations with crimes, everyone na thief in Naija, Only the ones caught in the act na barawo. If this guy was successful with his sh!t. Trust me, he’ll be a champion to help many either directly or indirectly. Cast the first stone if you have no sin.
