Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s National Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) on Friday detained a 54 year old Nigerian citizen in possession of 18 kilos of cocaine at Maputo International Airport.<\/p>\n

According to SERNIC spokesperson Hilario Lole, the Nigerian was detained as he disembarked at the airport. His journey had begun in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Lole said that the drugs were in the Nigerian\u2019s luggage, disguised as packets of coffee. He said that when these packets were opened, they were found to contain a white power which, on testing, proved to be cocaine.<\/p>\n

SERNIC is now formalizing the detention, added Lole, and is continuing investigations to discover other members of the drug trafficking ring. He hoped that the Nigerian (whose name he did not reveal) will divulge all details about the route and the final destination of the cocaine.<\/p>\n

This is the first seizure of illicit drugs at the airport so far this year.<\/p>\n
