A 40 year old Nigerian drug trafficker, Samnneji Chukwuemeka aka Moses Jeffery was arrested by India's Customs officials in New Delhi India on Friday June 26th. Chukwuemeka has been on the radar of the Indian police since 2011 after his attempt to smuggle drugs from India to Holland was foiled.
"He has been under security radar for nearly four years after we foiled his attempt to smuggle 645 grams of brown sugar from Shillong to Holland way back in August 2011 through a courier agency. Finally, we managed to arrest Chukwuemeka only after the immigration cell at New Delhi alerted us that he has been detained by Delhi Police for over staying in India" Superintendent of Customs (Preventive) Shillong, D. Bhattacharjee, told India media
There were rumours earlier today about plans by the Federal Government to transfer some Boko Haram prisoners down to Onitsha and some parts of the state to serve their time.
Well , this didn't go down well with the people of Anambra state as they took to the streets this morning to protest the alleged plans as they were not in agreement with the alleged transfer.
There are reports that major markets in the state including the Onitsha main market were closed down.
A Nairaland user ," michyme" who experienced the protest has this to say :

I had a first hand experience myself , I boarded a bus going to onitsha from asaba, when the bus got to the middle of the niger bridge all the vehicles in front weren't moving anymore we thought it was a traffic congestion. In less than 30 seconds some vehicles started reversing in a hurry while some passenger jumped down from buses they felt weren't fast enough in reversing.People were running back to asaba the next thing I saw were some people carrying posters with an inscription that says " Buhari save anambra state" I guess they were going to block the bridge, finally the bus I boarded succeeded in turning back to asaba it wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I hope no live would be lost.Hmmm ! See more photos below - See more at: http://ift.tt/1BMZJXc
