He had illegally arrived in Switzerland in summer 2024 and moved to rue de Genève 85 in Lausanne, a building considered by the police as a “rear base of drug trafficking”. On Monday, a 28 -year -old Nigerian was sentenced to 28 months in prison and an expulsion of 10 years for cocaine traffic, reports “24 hours”. It was established that, until his arrest in October 2024, the man had transported at least 341 g of cocaine from France, and had conditioned and sold part. During the search, 323 g of powder were still seized in his studio. For the public prosecutor, it was “not a simple dealer”, but “an essential network of the network”.
At the Lausanne Criminal Court, the man denied any involvement, shouting in the plot, relates the Vaudois daily life. His lawyer denounced a desire to make him “a scapegoat” while four other men were in the apartment at the time of the search. Among them was in particular Michael Ekemezie, 39, who died last May at the police hotel after a muscular arrest. But the Lausanne judges decided: the guilt of the accused is overwhelming and his role in traffic was “major and not anecdotal”.
