Olusegun Babalola, a 26-year-old Nigerian drug dealer, was found guilty of concealing a stockpile worth more than £7,000 in a box of tissues and was given an 8-year prison sentence in the United Kingdom.
As part of a Peterborough drug selling and extortion investigation, police raided his home in Whitsed Street, Eastfield, on May 19, 2023, and made him a target for arrest.
According to a statement on the police website, Babalola supplied crack cocaine and heroin across the city as part of an operation known as “county lines.”
“Officers discovered more than £7,000 worth of hemp and cocaine wraps stashed inside a tissue box the morning the police searched his residence.
A significant amount of designer apparel and footwear, along with other drgs paraphernalia, small weighing scales, and numerous mobile phones, one of which was later proven to be the “deal line” for the county line, were discovered in the one-bedroom apartment, according to the statement.
