he Jakarta Police arrested on Tuesday a Nigerian, identified as AEC, at his rented room in Srengseng, Kembangan, West Jakarta, for allegedly distributing methamphetamine.
The police had arrested his suspected Indonesian courier on Monday, a woman identified as AIH, on Jl. Margonda Raya, in front of the Depok bus terminal in West Java, when she was allegedly waiting for a buyer for 200 grams of meth.
Jakarta Police drug unit head Sr. Comr. Eko Daniyanto said in a press conference that the dealers were suspected members of an international drug network controlled by another suspect, identified as FR, from inside a prison in Jakarta and a suspect identified as IF, who currently was at large. Both are Nigerians.
'But we cannot reveal now where his prison is because we are pursuing another cell of their network,' he said, hoping that the target could be arrested this week.
During the arrest, police confiscated two kilograms of meth worth Rp 3.3 billion packed in wafer and biscuit boxes in his closet.
