KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 379 Nigerians were arrested from 2015 till June this year for drug-related offences, said federal narcotics crime investigation department director Commissioner Datuk Seri Mokhtar Mohd Shariff.

“Out of this total, 122 were students at local institutions of higher learning,” Mokhtar told reporters in a media conference at Bukit Aman police headquarters here today.

A total of 142 suspects have been charged under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which provides the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.

Mokhtar advised all colleges and universities to alert the police if there is any indication of possible students’ involvement with drugs.

“Ensure the students come and study, and not to peddle drugs,” he said.

Mokhtar was referring to the latest incident on June 16, where police seized 1kg of syabu packed within cake boxes during an operation at four locations in the city on Friday.

It was a joint operation by Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department (NCID) and the Special Tactical Intelligence Narcotics Group (Sting).

Nine foreigners were arrested – eight Nigerians, and one Ugandan national aged 25 and 39.

“Five of the suspects were students, three studying multimedia and two majoring in language courses.

As at 31 December 2014 last year, Malaysia had 135,502 international students from about 160 nations, studying in public and private higher education institutions as well as international schools.

There were 74,996 international students studying in private tertiary institutions, an increase of 29.9% from 2013 while in the public institutions, the number was 32,842.

KUALA LUMPUR – They come here under the guise of foreign students pursuing an education at our local universities or colleges. But their real purpose is more sinister – to traffic and sell drugs in Malaysia.

Police believe that international drug syndicates are now resorting to using these foreign “students”, especially those from Nigeria, to carry out their illegal activity.

Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the modus operandi of the drug syndicates was to give the students access to Malaysia by obtaining student visas and enrolling them in universities and colleges.

“However, the students seldom or never attend classes as they are busy handling their illegal business,” he said.

A source said the drugs were sourced from China and other Asian countries.

“We are working closely with the respective universities and colleges to detain syndicate members posing as students.

“The colleges have been told to keep a lookout for those who sign up for courses and don’t turn up. Once the universities or colleges detect this trend, the police will be alerted,” he said.
