“Police searched the men and found a pipe and a packet of nyaope in the possession of one of the men. The 56-year-old suspect was arrested on a charge of possession of drugs.”
During questioning the suspect allegedly told police he had bought the nyaope from a Nigerian man, but was reluctant to show or tell police where the man stayed.
He will appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court soon.
