A Nigerian has just been napped in New York for the possession of 86 wraps of heroin! Michael Ayodele, has excreted about 1kg of heroin pellets at the Washington Dulles International Airport.
Michael who almost successfully smuggled the drugs was caught at the last minute. Here’s what happened:
He arrived the Dulles airport on January 16 on a flight from Zurich, Switzerland. He was then referred to Customs and Border Protection agents for a secondary inspection. When questioned, he told the agents that he was returning from Nigeria, where he had been visiting his family.
He probably noticed that the agents were suspicious, so he asked to use the bathroom. Not knowing that the agents were listening at the bathroom door, he started to expel the pellets which dropped into the toilet with loud splashes. And that’s how he was caught red handed.
Authorities said the pellets field-tested positive for heroin. Ayodele is in custody pending further court proceedings. A detention hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
The heroin pellets which weighed about one kilogramme, has been said to have a street value of about $70,000.
