POLOKWANE - A 39-year-old Nigerian national, Patrick Onjejeke, appeared before the Mokopane Magistrate’s Court today, Friday, 11 July 2025, on a charge of dealing in drugs following his arrest during a targeted operation conducted by members of the Provincial Organised Crime Unit.

The arrest stems from an intelligence-driven operation carried out on Thursday, 10 July 2025 at around 18:10. Police received credible information regarding a suspect allegedly transporting illicit drugs from Polokwane to Mokopane in a white Hyundai. The vehicle was located in Thabo Mbeki Street, near Evergreen Junior Campus, and was promptly intercepted.

A thorough search of the vehicle led to the discovery of seven plastic bags containing heroin, Cat and cocaine drugs, with an estimated combined street value of R100 000-00. The suspect, who is a foreign national, was immediately arrested on the scene.

The case has been postponed to Monday, 14 July 2025 for a formal bail application.
