Three members of one family in Lusaka’s Makeni area have been arrested by the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) for drug trafficking.
Lucas Avraam aged 39 and his brother Niklaos Avraam, aged 37, both Greek nationals, were arrested at their Makeni homes after they were found with different quantities of cocaine weighing over 10 grams.
Gavrille Avraam, aged 44, who is believed to be a Greek national but claims to be a South African, was arrested together with the two after he was also found with his own contraband.
The arrest of the three businessmen believed to have been supplying cocaine to members of the public at an identified entertainment spot situated in Makeni has been confirmed to MUVI TV news by DEC Public Relations Manager, John Nyawali.
And Mr. Nyawali has told Muvi TV news that 41 people were arrested countrywide in the last five days for trafficking in different quantities of cannabis weighing over 150 kilograms.
These include two Tanzanian nationals who were found with 69 bundles of Mirra weighing 30 kilograms.

Zambia has been been invaded by drug traffickers. Something is not going right with the government agencies. The borders are very porous. They must start using sniffer dogs because human beings are too corrupt to report what their eyes have seen. These chaps you call investers are coming with money and illicit drugs.
What kind of drug is Mirra ? And a whole 30kg of it too !…….. I wonder what street value that has..
Deport these f.u%ing immigrants imediately, foreigners that come to Zambia need to abide by our laws. If they have any assets, impound those imediately as state property as they were likely obtained by means of criminal activity. We dont need outsiders bringing their immoral cultures to Zambia.
Good job and deport these guys back to their country as soon as possible.
Mirraa is localy known as imirungi.in tanzania we chew them freely.i receive a 5kg supply every week
Are they investers?
# 5 Thanx. …….Is it like khat ?
Nama suku yala kola ba DEC.
Mira is an illicit drug??? That stuff sells like hot cakes in the UK. Very popular. Sinse when did it become illegal??? They should also legalize weed. There is nothing wrong with Marijuana.
@ #7, you are dead right it is khat,it comes from somalia and where they call it so but now largely cultivated in kenya.
