He was caught when customs officers in Coventry intercepted a parcel addressed to a 'Paterson Alberta', at his address in Cooke Square. The dealer was arrested when he signed for the parcel, handed to him by an undercover officer dressed as a Parcel Force driver.. Jailing him last Thursday, Judge Richard Hawkins, QC, told Nzeagwu: "You were the recipient or intended recipient of some seven transactions relating to these drugs, and obviously the court must take a serious view of the conviction of such an offence.
