A Nigerian, Valentine Ezike, has been arrested by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Regional Office 4-A in Barangay Biclatan, Cavite, Philippines.

The Philippine news agency quoted a PDEA report on Sunday as saying authorities seized about 500 grams of suspected “shabu” (a variant of methamphetamine) at Ezike of Palmdale Village, Governor’s Hill, a box containing two resealable clear plastic bags containing more or minus 1,000 grams each of brownish grains, including a plastic container with scales and four identification cards.

PDEA said Ezike was believed to be a member of the West African drug syndicate that recruits Filipinos to transport illegal drugs.

Ezike will be charged with violating Sections 5 and 11, Article II of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
