Picture: Ugwu leaves mix-upA US. based Nigerian man taking spices, dried fish and vegetables used in making Ugwu soup, a popular soup of the Igbo people in Nigeria, to a relative in Mexico spent two days in jail in Tijuana, Mexico after Mexican authorities mistook the ingredients for that, a popular but illegal stimulant from East Africa.
The Nigerian, Okoronkwo Umeham, a U.S citizen, says he took the same ingredients to his relation in Tijuana last year and had no problems, but this time he was stopped and asked about the packages but he couldn't explain what they were since he doesn't speak Spanish.
He was kept in jail for two days while the ingredients were tested and federal prosecutors in Tijuana said that they concluded that he was not carrying any illegal drugs and did not test positive for any illegal drugs.
