Bridget Dubobokun, who is married to a Nigerian national residing in Hendrina, was spotted by three officers of the crime prevention unit following up information on possible drug deals in progress.<\/p>\n
She was wearing a padded jacket, and during a search, a small packet allegedly fell out of one of the jacket\u2019s many pockets.<\/p>\n
Constables Tsepho Aphane, Nelisiwe Mkhwanazi and Nkosinathi Chauke, then intensified their search, and came across the 89 pinches of nyaope, spurring them to arrest Dubobokun on the spot.<\/p>\n
According to the SAPS, her arrest came during a brief visit to her husband in Hendrina.<\/p>\n
It is unclear at this stage whether she has any pending drug related cases against her in Rustenburg.<\/p>\n
The pinches were sent for analysis, leading to Dubobokun being released by the Middelburg Magistrates Court on a warning at her appearance on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
She has preliminary been charged with drug dealing.<\/p>\n
