A 42-year-old Nigerian transit traveller, caught at the Dubai
International Airport with 100 capsules of cocaine in his stomach, has
been sentenced to 10 years in jail.
The Court of First Instance
convicted the Nigerian man arrested on August 17 of smuggling drugs via
transit, and ordered him to pay Dh100,000 worth of fine.
The sentencing will be followed by deportation, the court ruled, and
ordered confiscation of the drugs. “I was assigned to stand guard on the
accused at the hospital. He had just been referred by the airport
police officers after he was suspected of smuggling capsules containing
drugs in his stomach,” a policeman told the prosecutor.https://newtelegraphonline.com/dubai-nigerian-jailed-swallowing-100-cocaine-wraps/
