Members of Upington Border Police in a clandestine operation with the Northern Cape Tactical Response Team(TRT) on Sunday arrested seven Nigerians for conspiracy to commit murder.
It was alleged that the suspects conspired to kill certain police officials in Upington as they were posing a threat to their drug trafficking business.
NEWSTODAYNG gathered that the seven men between the ages of 34 and 45, are allegedly known for drug trafficking in Upington and surrounding areas.
It was also gathered that they do not have legal documentation which are in contravention of the Immigration Act.
According to reports, more charges in line with the Immigration Act will be added to the existing charge, while the suspects would appear in the Upington Magistrates’ Court soon.
