Zim Now Writer

A 23-year-old Ghananian national appeared before the Harare magistrates’ courts after he was found with $7,6 million worth of heroin at the Robert Mugabe International Airport on Saturday.

Frank Adjei was found with approximately 1,8 kilogrammes of heroin.

He was remanded in custody for bail application.

It is alleged that on May 13 this year, Adjei landed at RGIA from Ghana aboard an Ethiopian Airways plane ET 920.

Upon arrival at the duty-free section, a bag with his name tag was subjected to searches by the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority’s Canine Section and there was an indication that a suspicious parcel was inside.

Adjei and his bag were then referred to CID Drugs and Narcotics for further verifications, resulting in the confiscation of the heroin which was stashed inside the bag.

The drug has an estimated street value of $7 560 000.
