Prophet Bushiri, who has been released on a $100,000 (N36.3 million) bail, would be assisting the New York police in investigating the 10Kg cocaine found on the baggage ride.
The cocaine which has a street market value of $1.5 million (N544 billion) does not bear the pastor’s fingerprints but immediate forensic tests have proved his connection.
He arrived from Johannesburg, South Africa on Delta Airlines. The bag containing the 10kg cocaine which bears no tag was checked-in from Johannesburg and is identical to a similar bag carried by the prophet.
