South African customs makes biggest cocaine bust, worth N1.9B (Photos)



The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has made their biggest cocaine bust  at the Oliver Tambo International Airport on Saturday, February 18, 2017. In a statement released, the customs officials revealed that it was their biggest cocaine bust.

'It marks the biggest ever cocaine bust by Customs officials in South Africa. The narcotics, en route from Sao Paulo to Nairobi, Kenya, were found in a cargo warehouse during routine operations. 
'The specific shipment indicated as ‘cosmetics’ on official documentation, was identified for closer inspection through Customs profiling techniques,' SARS narrated.
They were said to have conducted a drug test on a number of randomly selected containers after narcotic detector dogs reacted positively to the cargo. 271kg cocaine estimated to worth around R78 million (N1.9B) were found packed in hair products.
The drugs have been handed over to the Police for further investigation.

Yet the blue Lamborghini blatantly squeezed through, almost causing an accident, while cutting across the lane before speeding off into the distance. The Nigerian Lambo driver has been identified as Paul Gabriel Amos from Agulu, Anambra State  who lives in Singapore.

"I was in my 50s at the time and I guess I was a bit of a novelty," says Janice, casting her mind back to her first ever body building competition. "There weren’t many women my age doing it even I was a bit surprised to find myself there." Then again, a few years earlier, life was very different for Janice. If it hadn’t been for the breakdown of her marriage, which ended in 1988 with her husband of over 20 years walking out on her, Janice might not have had the catalyst to spur her on.
