A MasterChef the Professionals contestant has been jailed for his role in a drugs supply plot with a woman who boasted about her abilities to "bash up" cocaine and heroin. Haritier Nsemi, who appeared on the show in 2018 but was eliminated, was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court on Friday, May 13.
With talented dancer and DJ Oluwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, they perceived a potential market for selling Class A drugs in Retford, Nottinghamshire, and found two established drug users to start dealing drugs from their homes with their consent. Their activities came to light when one person disappeared to the Premier Inn, Newark, allegedly with £300.
Efforts were made to recover the cash but police were informed and the pair were arrested. They pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply heroin and cocaine with Ashleigh Ellis, a drug dealing mum who had fled a violent relationship. The 27-year-old, of Wadsworth Road, Bramley, Rotherham, was at premises where heroin and cocaine were found.
