Two Nigerians were arrested over the weekend with about ₦125 million worth of methamphetamine in separate police operations in Naga City, Camarines Sur in the Philippines.

The security operatives arrested a Nigerian businessman identified as Azubuike Obiaghanwa Onwigbolu, 32, a resident of Angeles City, Pampanga at 2:15 am on Sunday through a buy-bust operation where a police personnel acted as a buyer.

Before Onwigbolu’s arrest, a similar buy-bust operation was held on Saturday which resulted in the arrest of 22-year-old Mbaneto Sopuluchukwu.

The Philippines Dangerous Drugs Act prescribes the death penalty for drug traffickers.
