Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Last week, Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM) stationed at the junction between the EN12 and the EN105 in Nampula province stopped a white Nissan NP200 Champion vehicle, registration AII 388-MP, and found it to be transporting 425 kilograms of cocaine.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was leaving the Jempesse region, in Lumbo, near the berth of Daraja La Kisiwa Cha Mumbiji, in the tourist District of Ilha de Mo\u00e7ambique. It was only searched because the driver was caught in infraction of traffic rules and ended up running away after a chase, abandoning the vehicle less than 100 km from the city of Nampula in Carapira town, Monapo district.<\/p>\n

A team made up of agents from the PRM, the State Information and Security Service (SISE) and the National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) in Monapo searched the vehicle and found the drugs packaged in 14 white bags and bowls, marked with the number \u201c999\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at two o\u2019clock in the morning, a 35-year-old citizen arrived at the Police command of Monapo. Assumane Issa Nhororo, born in Moc\u00edmboa da Praia in Cabo Delgado province and currently residing in Jempesse, district of Ilha do Mo\u00e7ambique in Nampula, had 200,500.00 meticais and sought to bribe police officers and retrieve the cocaine. Unsuccessful, a source reports, and he was detained.<\/p>\n

The ongoing investigation revealed that the owner of the seized vehicle and of another one also used to transport drugs from the Jempesse area, was one Atibo Sumail Assumane, a resident of Nampula.<\/p>\n

At the time, a docket with the number 23\/2022 was opened. Local justice institutions have not so far publicly presented this second figure and, according to an operative note, only one person is currently detained.<\/p>\n

Nampula province, along with Cabo Delgado, Zamb\u00e9zia, Sofala, Inhambane and Maputo provinces and city have in recent years become favourite routes for the reception and transit of drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and opium, whether by land, sea or air.<\/p>\n
