DEC Officer narrates how Bolivian expelled cocaine pellets

DRUG Enforcement Commission (DEC) public relations officer Samuel Silomba looks at the exhibit of the largest single seizure of cocaine weighing 13.2 kilogrammes. Among other items seized were DVD players and baby powder containers where the drugs were concealed

A DRUG Enforcement Commission (DEC) investigations officer yesterday recounted before a Lusaka magistrate’s court how a Bolivian allegedly expelled cocaine pellets from his body in a lavatory as he filmed the episode.

The officer said the Bolivian had pointed to his stomach and the back giving an indication that he urgently needed to use the lavatory.

The Bolivian gave the signal because he was unable to communicate in English.

Two Bolivians, Jorge Galuano Padilla, 31, a bricklayer, and Jackeline Maron Pedraza, 21, a student, are charged with trafficking and importing cocaine into Zambia.

Treford Chibase Mulenga, 32, testified before Chief Resident Magistrate Joshua Banda that Padilla started pointing to his stomach and the back.

That made him take the Bolivian to the?lavatory so that he could relieve himself.

This was after DEC intercepted the two Bolivians at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka on April 9, this year.

Mr Mulenga said he ushered Padilla into a lavatory used by physically challenged people where he squatted and expelled 13 pellets wrapped in a transparent plastic paper.

Padilla washed the pellets in a sink within the lavatory before they proceeded to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) where he expelled 19 more pellets.

Mr Mulenga said he filmed the episode in the lavatory.

    Those Bolivians are innocent, they were forced to smuggle drugs. They just helped your DEC and also asked for asylum. How can Zambian DEC find-out by themselves, they never arrest anyone.
    Just that episode of drug burst can’t be highest profile case they have ever found, just dissolve that DEC, so lazy people.

    Drugs Drugs and Drugs… Who did they bring these drugs for? Are such drugs very expensive? If they are more than a dollar then no poor man can buy such drugs. It is the rich. it is the politicians. It is all those who stole from the people that are buying such drugs. Apart from cutting the source, cut the end user as well. Let them tell us who they were supplying?

    I think there must be a network of a cocaine Contra band which these poor lads are working for here in our country as end users and one of the Latin American country. This needs to be thouhhly investigated so that that the chain is broken. Bravo DEC.

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate it.
