Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) officers in Cavite Province, Philippines, netted a notable success in their operations against illegal drugs. Three Nigerian nationals, based on information provided by PDEA RO4A and PDEA RO, were arrested in a coordinated buy-bust in Bacoor City, Cavite. They were in possession of illegal substances, including ecstasy tablets and shabu, worth approximately P10 million.
The three suspects, 30-year-old Ikechukwu D. Owoh, 34-year-old Stanley Chinedu Emone, and 23-year-old Keneth Chukwudi Divine, were apprehended at two different locations in Bacoor City. The PDEA officials conducted a successful operation, which is part of their ongoing efforts to curb the proliferation of illegal drugs and to bring to justice individuals who are involved in such activities.
PDEA has been at the forefront of the nationwide campaign to combat drug abuse and illicit trafficking. The recent arrest of these individuals demonstrates their commitment to upholding the law and ensuring a safer community.
This latest development sheds light on the importance of proactive and comprehensive law enforcement actions in combating drug trafficking and addressing the underlying societal issues.
Given the circumstances, PDEA remains unwavering in its mission to eradicate these illicit activities and enforce the law, ensuring that the wellbeing of the community remains a top priority.
Once arrested, the suspects, who were briefly interviewed, stated that they were duped by an individual who promised them jobs in the Philippines. They had arrived in the country bearing tourist visas and were allegedly forced into this situation. They are currently detained, and the case is ongoing.
