A suspected member of the West African Drug Syndicate (WADS) was, on Sunday, charged with trying to smuggle in illegal drugs after authorities had discovered that the alleged drug courier had tried to sneak past security at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport having swallowed 60 thumb-sized capsules of shabu.
The courier, who is a national of the Republic of Benin, was allegedly to deliver the drugs to a local Philippine contact in exchange for $4,000.
According to the National Bureau of Investigation-Reaction and Interdiction Division (RAID) investigation, the courier’s arrival last Friday at the NAIA was noted by immigration officials, who were suspicious of the Benin national's purpose for traveling. The immigration men promptly alerted the Airport Task Force on Drug Couriers and the NBI of their suspicions.
