LUCENA CITY — Anti-illegal drug operatives arrested two Nigerian nationals on Wednesday (September 13) and seized at least P6.2 million worth of heroin in a buy-bust operation at a shopping mall in Imus City, Cavite.

In a report Thursday, Police Region 4A identified the suspects as Enuka John Chukwuemeka and Christopher Nwabufo, both residents of Golden Acres Village, Las Piñas City.

The report did not provide further information on the two foreigners.

Police said the suspects were arrested after they sold 40 grams of heroin worth P240,000 to a poseur buyer at the main entrance of a shopping mall in Barangay (village) Tanzang Luma 5 at around 4:05 p.m.

During routine frisking following the arrest, law enforcers reportedly found another kilo of heroin worth P6,000,000 and 15 grams of marijuana with an estimated value of P1,800 in the possession of the suspects.

Authorities are investigating the source of the illegal drugs.

The operatives also seized two mobile phones from the suspects, which will be subjected to digital forensic examinations to determine records of drug transactions.

Local policemen also arrested Jon Camiler, classified as a “high-value” target in the government’s drug war, in another sting operation in Barangay Anabu 2F, also in Imus City, at about 11:50 p.m.

The suspect yielded two plastic sachets of “shabu” (crystal meth) weighing 30 grams with an estimated value of P204,000.

All three suspects were detained and face charges of violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
