The National Intelligence Agency of South Korea (NIS) arrested the leader of a drug crime group in Nigeria, which deceived South Koreans into cheating drugs through romantic scams and other programs.
K Jeff, 59, is the leader of Nigeria’s emerging drug ring and was arrested last Thursday in a joint operation between the NIS Transnational Crime Information Centre and the National Drug Enforcement Agency of Nigeria (NDLEA).
His organization operates bases in Southeast Asian countries, Africa, South Korea, the United States and Europe to distribute drugs or engage in romantic or investment scams to deceive people online as drug couriers.
The victims are deceived by romantic scams or false investment opportunities and travel abroad to a foreign country to deliver backpacks, candy or grocery stores on behalf of members of the organization.
NIS said one of the victims was a Korean woman in her 50s when she was arrested last year while shaving wax from Brazil to Cambodia through South Korea.
It said ten other victims, including foreigners, have been confirmed.
K Jeff was expelled from South Korea in 2008 after being sentenced to one year in prison for leading the drug distribution program. He has since purchased drugs in South Korea, Central America and Southeast Asia, smuggling them out of South Korea and outside Nigeria.
The South Korean investigative authorities initially opened in South Korea in 2021, attempting to smuggle drugs from Ghana and eventually traced it back to the drug ord and removed it.
The agency said NIS had seized 45.6 kilograms of drugs, including 28.4 kilograms of methamphetamine, from the organization, and arrested 38 members of the organization, which warned people about individuals who delivered items abroad online to those who served online. .
