SINGAPORE: A Nigerian man who is a member of an international West African drug syndicate has been detained under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act for recruiting Singaporean women as drug couriers.
A statement from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) said Thursday that 31-year-old Okemawalan Ugo Buchi, who is also known as "Malik", "Michael" and "Ugo", was arrested on July 1 together with his accomplice, a Singaporean woman.
His accomplice was also detained for her involvement in drug trafficking activities with the syndicate.
Investigations showed that Okemawalan would court Singaporean women at nightspots at Clarke Quay and coffeeshops in Bencoolen area.
CNB said he would live off his girlfriends, and then offer them high-paying jobs to deliver bags of clothing samples which actually contain drugs to China and Europe.
The girlfriends would be paid between US$500 and US$1500 for each trip, depending on the destination.
The Singaporean women would start out with drug runs to nearby countries, and move on to further places in Europe and Latin America.
CNB said that between December 2008 and March 2009, Okemawalan had organised at least 10 drug runs using his girlfriends as drug couriers.
According to CNB, Okemawalan was an organiser of the drug syndicate, which has other West African members based in countries such as China, Nigeria, Spain, Greece, Guyana, Puerto Rico and Brazil.

what to do, some sg women like negro one.
Ya lor! Bloody Nigger!
Come here and spoil our society only. Deserves to be killed!
Well.... when a deal is too good to be true..... most of the time it can't be true.
The Nigerian thought that by conning the unsuspecting Singapore girls, he could have the "cake and eat it too".
For every Singapore girl arrested abroad, this guy should be caned 10 strokes.
For every Singapore girl given the death penalty abroad, this guy should be sentence to 10 years without remission.
Aiyah. If govt finds out this trafficker has something vast to contribute to Singapore society, then govt won't sentence him to death. This is politics mah!
Make the fucker answer all of those irritating emails from his shitty little countrymen lah.
