Nigerians sell
heroine from jail

JAKARTA: Two Nigerians detained in Salemba Penitentiary,
Central Jakarta, have been accused of dealing 252 grams of
heroin, police said on Thursday.

The crime was uncovered when narcotics detectives arranged a
transaction with a suspected dealer identified as 23-year-old
Dewi Purwanti Sari.

The police arrested Dewi after she handed over a brown
envelope containing heroin worth about Rp 151 million (US$16,700)
in a hotel room in Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.

Dewi told the police that she got the drugs from her Nigerian
boyfriend John Owuh, who was imprisoned for a drug-related crime.
The police later found out that Owuh worked with another detained
Nigerian Chidi Okemere.--JP
