Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Chima Okoyi, 35, a Nigerian citizen is in police custody in Lilongwe on allegation of Illegal possession of 17 blisters of narcotic drugs, suspected to be cocaine.<\/p>\n

Lilongwe Police spokesperson Hastings Chigalu says the law enforcers arrested the suspect at his house in Area 49, Gulliver yesterday following a tip.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilongwe Police drug detectives, accompanied by Central West Region officers, invaded the said premises at around 15:00 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a blessing from Lilongwe Magistrate Court that granted a search warrant for the same, detectives thoroughly did their job which resulted into uncovering of the 17 blisters of the suspected cocaine hidden under his bed,\u201d explains Chigalu.<\/p>\n

The illicit drugs have since been sent to Pharmacy, Medicines and Regulatory Authority for analysis. Okoyi is expected to appear in court soon to answer a case of being found in possession of dangerous drugs contrary to Regulation 4A as read with section 19 (1) of Dangerous Drugs Act.<\/p>\n
