A suspected Nigerian drug smuggler was shot dead after resisting arrest
in Tanah Tinggi, Central Jakarta on Wednesday, April 26.
Jakarta Police Chief Insp. Gen. M. Iriawan said the police shot
Douglas Hope Onyebuchi, aka Kabaka, who was a suspect in a drug
smuggling case in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.
The police, Iriawan said, coordinated with the Directorate General of
Customs and Excise to track Onyebuchi and his Indonesian wife Yani
Andriani, after being suspected of smuggling a package containing two
kilograms of methamphetamine from Guangzhou, China.
“Some drugs were shipped from Guangzhou, disguised in pairs of
sandals. We later followed the shipment to Jl. Cengkir Raya in Kelapa
Gading,” said Iriawan.
The police said Andriani was seen watching the package be placed
inside one of the rooms in the dorm house.
“We watched her for two days
until we concluded that she was a suspect.”
The police proceeded to arrest Andriani. Further investigations led
police to another location on Jl. Maladewa in Tanah Tinggi, where Kabaka
was hiding.
“During his arrest, he fought back and tried to grab one of the officers’ guns. Therefore, we had no choice but to take him down”
