A man who was arrested at his flat in Dassierand, near Potchefstroom on Thursday for being in possession of drugs, will be remanded in custody. The North West police spokesperson, Col Adele Myburgh said, Paschal Ezekwuene Enuna (51) was arrested during an operation conducted by the North West Provincial Drug Task Team.
“Enuna appeared before the Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Court on 21 April 2023 for possession of drugs. He was remanded in custody until 28 April 2023. He was arrested after the police obtained a search warrant and operationalised it.
“During the search, police allegedly found CAT with an estimated street value of R125 000. The accused was previously arrested several times for drug-related crimes,” Myburgh said.
She further said, Enuna was out on R19 000 bail in another case of dealing in drugs at the time of his arrest. Myburgh added that the other three cases against Enuna are still pending.
“In addition, investigations revealed that Enuna’s Asylum Permit has expired and will be dealt with in terms of Section 49(1)(b) of the Immigration Act, 2002 (Act No. 13 of 2002),” she said.
