A 32 year old Nigerian could be
jailed in Australia for life for allegedly smuggling $10million worth
of methamphetamine into the country inside a gaudy fish statue.
Sydney border force officers found
10kg of the highly addictive drug hidden, also known as ice, inside one
of three gold-coloured fish statues destined for a residential address
in Kaleen, north of Canberra.

Police were alerted and arrested the
Nigerian after he picked up the statues, removed the drugs, and tried
to board a bus bound for Sydney on Saturday. He will face an Australian
Capital Territory Magistrate court on Monday.
The drug stash, which had been imported from China, was found on the man when he was arrested, police say.
The Nigerian, who arrived in
Australia in July on a student visa, faces a maximum penalty of life in
jail if he’s convicted of attempting to possess a commercial quantity of
an illegal drug.
In September, two Nigerians were
similarly arrested in Australia for importing more than 40kg of
methamphetamine into the country.
The men were identified as
51-year-old Iwuchukwu Odemegwo and Chibuike Anyasor. The duo concealed
the drug inside bar fridges and Jackie Chan-branded DVD players.
