Customs officers in
Indonesia have arrested a Nigerian, simply identified as CR, for allegedly
smuggling 1.1 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine through Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport in Jakarta, authorities said on Tuesday.
According
to customs office chief Oza Olivia, the 31-year-old was stopped by officers for
behaving suspiciously after arriving from Nigeria's commercial city, Lagos,
aboard an Emirates Airline flight on Sunday night.
Olivia
said a body scan detected 1,118.2 grams of crystal methamphetamine contained in
60 capsules in CR’s stomach. T
He
said the drugs have a street value of about $124,804.
The
suspect allegedly attempted to bribe customs officers with $4,000 to release
him.
CR
was then given a laxative, and officers recovered the drugs over a period of 18
hours.
