President Duterte is not willing to be scared by the wide teeth of the UN or any external body advising him to stop  in  the fight against illegal drugs in the country. The president who believes there are more cops still protecting some drug lords in some area have said he would put a 2 million peso ($43,000) as bounty to get rid of them too.

Speaking at the  National Heroes Day in the country, President Duterte said that dirty cops are his target now, and he vow to get rid of them, as many of them seems to be cuddling some drug lords, and this is not helping his war on illegal drugs in the country.

In his speech, Duterte said;

I might be inclined to place a reward on their head — the members of the ninja or members of the police who are then protecting the drug syndicates in this country. “I’m placing per head P2 million and you might want to, ipagbili na ninyo ang mga kaibigan ninyo.

The president also said he planned to stop the war on drugs during his tenure, as illegal drug is now a national threat to the country's population. He added that the drug has infiltrated; 

    every nook and corner of this country involving generals, mayors, governors, barangay captains and so many ninjas” or policemen “who are into it.

Uzoma Elele Alpha, a Nigerian national living in Indonesia has been sentenced to life imprisonment for drug possession. The Indonesian police found methamphetamine and marijuana worth $451,400 in his apartment at the Margonda Residence tower in Depok when immigration authorities raided his apartment last December.

Police have asked Alpha his travel documents, but he couldn't present the documents,and was immediately arrested and tested for drug test, and he was positive for Marijuana. So the police not stopping at that decided to raid the man's home, and they found 300 grams of marijuana.

The prosecutors wanted life sentence for Alpha, but he was lucky to only have life imprisonment.

Indonesian authorities had killed 8 foreign nationals in March, and a Nigerian and Ghanaian was among the executed. The country policies on drug is a death sentence, and Alpha might just have to thank his stars.
