The four Mexicans apparently wanted to be pioneers of sorts. But they were breaking the law in a big way, Nigerian officials say, to achieve that distinction.
Nigerian drug agents say they have arrested four Mexicans who were helping to build a methamphetamine "super lab." It is believed to have had the potential to rake in billions of dollars, the nation's National Drug Law Enforcement Agency said Monday.
Spokesman Mitchell Ofoyeju said it was the first industrial-scale production of crystal meth found in West Africa, and possibly on the continent.
"The Nigerians invited the Mexicans in to leverage their expertise in these industrial-scale, high-yield productions," said Ofoyeju.
The warehouse in southern Delta state could produce 4,000 kilograms (8,800 pounds) a week of the synthetic drug, which sells for $6,000 a kilogram in Nigeria but as much as $300,000 a kilogram in the Asian markets favored by Nigerian drug dealers, Ofoyeju told the Associated Press.

Better late than never per posting this story, it's from Monday; I'm glad the Nigerians caught them.
Now we get emails from Nigerian meth dealers wanting to repatriate billions in drug money!
A more cynical interpretation: now that the infrastructure and technical knowledge has been had, the Mexicans were no longer needed. In fact, their cut of the profits was not needed either. So they were arrested and will be in prison.
Talk about making the natives restless.. Meth ?? Oh man.
Where did they get that picture of my whiskey distillery?
Trump’s wall is going to need to be higher that I thought!
Geez, not a day goes by where we don't hear about more illegal mexican filth trying to destroy our country.
I’m sure if you dig and dig you might come across some CIA ties.
Would a meth lab feeding a nation of radical Islamists be all that bad?
Too late to call Saul. Better living through chemistry if you survive.
Heisenberg?

Where I live, the Law has done a great job of cuffing this sort of vermin, but the ‘Courts’ - (Judges) have made a farce of it all!
‘Justice’ in the USA Courts ca. MMXVI (as we old folk remember it) is a mere semblance of our Founder’s definition of what they believed Justice to be.
I feel sad for, and pray for all Police, & all responders
Who knew Nigeria was a southern border state?!
