A Nigerian man was yesterday charged with importing almost half a kilogram of cocaine in capsules he had swallowed.
Eddy Favour Imeh, who lives in Italy, appeared in court with the bottom of his track suit pants taped to his ankles to make sure that he did not pass any other capsules without the police knowing.
He pleaded not guilty to conspiring to import the drugs, importing and being in possession in circumstances denoting they were not for his exclusive use.
Magistrate Gabriella Vella remanded him in custody.
