A Nigerian man could be jailed for life for allegedly
smuggling $10million worth of ice into Australia inside a gaudy fish
statue.
According to Mailonline, Sydney border force officers found 10kg of
the highly addictive drug hidden inside one of three gold-coloured fish
statues destined for a residential address in Kaleen, north of Canberra.
Police were alerted and arrested the 32-year-old after he picked up
the statues, removed the drugs, and tried to board a bus bound for
Sydney on Saturday.The drug stash, which had been imported from China,
was found on the man when he was arrested, police say.
The man, 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.
