TWO NIGERIANS ARRESTED ON DRUG-RELATED CHARGES
Two Nigerians were arrested Saturday on charges of selling drugs in the
Itaewon area, often frequented by foreigners and young Koreans, police said.
The Seoul Metropolitan Agency said it also put two other Nigerians on a
wanted list in connection with the case.
The men are suspected of having sold 2 million ($1,560) worth of drugs such
as marijuana and ecstasy to Egyptians at an Itaewon bar since July, it said.
The agency said it is expanding its probe into the drug case as it believes
that the suspects might be connected to drug-trafficking rings.
