From Ghana with 95 heroin pellets in the tummy

A man who allegedly swallowed at least 95 heroin pellets is the second person this week to face drug-trafficking charges after flying into to Washington Dulles International Airport.

Court records say Yomade Saheed Aborishade arrived at Dulles from Accra, Ghana, on Wednesday. He "provided multiple and conflicting reasons for this travel," an affidavit says, and was taken to Reston Hospital Center.

There, an x-ray showed pellets in his stomach and the affidavit says Aborishade had expelled 95 pellets that weighed "over one kilogram" by Thursday.

The total number of pellets he ingested, their exact weight and the heroin's street value weren't known Friday. U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Steve Sapp said heroin generally has a street value of $70,000 per kilogram.

Earlier this week, Ebodor F. Okenwa, who flew into Dulles last Thursday, was charged after allegedly trying to import 3.7 pounds of heroin pellets worth $125,000. Authorities said he had ingested 88 pellets.
