THE Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) on the Copperbelt has arrested a business woman of Luanshya Town for trafficking in cocaine.
Justina Phiri, 37 of House No. 86KM Kamirenda area in Luanshya District has been arrested for trafficking in 48 rocks of cocaine.
DEC Public Relations Officer Theresa Katongo confirmed Wednesday in a statement that the suspect was arrested in Kitwe at her named Guest House situated in Kwacha East and she would appear in court soon.
Ms Katongo said the suspect was purportedly connected to a notorious Nigerian drug dealer by the name of Wisdom Amagbaobi who was convicted in 2012 and deported back to Nigeria for drug related offences.
She said Amagbaobi was allegedly back in Zambia and was currently on the run.
“A DEC manhunt has since been instituted to ascertain his whereabouts,”Ms Katongo said.
Eish some women go to far… Cocaine. I really can’t understand people who take these drugs when we have so many examples of how drugs wreck ones life.
Sad to note that a lady is associated with drugs that ruin peoples lives. Please engage in meaningful business to earn your living. In other countries she can be executed.
It’s because of the hardships that we subjected in PF government
Thats not an excuse to engage in a bad vice
@3 So Mwaanga and Sikota Wina were going through hardships when they got involved in drug trafficking? Come on if you’re a thief you’re a thief and if you’re decent you will remain so no matter the conditions.
Our Zambian borders are very porous. One gets deported through Kasumbalesa in the morning and in the evening you see the same person in the night clubs in Kitwe – and life goes on as usual.
@3, king temple since you know the root cause why don’t you screw her and
give her some money for food
Quite unfortunate – hope she doesn’t have young children. Law must take its course, no bribery and lenient sentences please!
52 years of independence is a long, long time by any standard. Surely how can a foreign criminal that was deported come back to where he left off, how? Where is our immigration? We are even lucky as a country and surrounded by good God fearing neighbours. Can you imagine if Zambia was in East/West North or Central Africa? Those big nosed Arabs would have taught us a huge lesson due to our docility as a pipo. It’s time we revisited our so-called Christian nation faiths and face the real world without Jesus; a muzungu with long (Brazilian hair), hooked nose and with a skin colour of that of ALBINOS (my apologies to the Albino communities) dabbed as son of God. Yeeeeeees, where do we fit in as BLACKS in this white Jesus theory yet with noses like Golf balls?
