Thursday, July 2, 2026 - No fewer than three Nigerians have been arrested in India over their alleged involvement in a drug trafficking syndicate.
According to The New Indian Express that the three Nigerians
allegedly entered the country on medical and tourist visas before engaging in
the illicit drug trade.
According to the report, operatives of the Anti-Narcotic
Wing of the Indian Central Crime Branch arrested the suspects after they
allegedly obtained the drugs from another Nigerian based in Delhi.
The Nigerian suspects were identified as Ambemo Victor, 37;
Chime Moses, 36; and Karikari Ames, 33.
The report stated, “The Anti-Narcotic Wing of CCB has
arrested four people, including three Nigerian nationals, in two cases of drug
peddling in the city.
“Sleuths of the ANW seized 10.27 kg of MDMA crystals and
2.044 kg of hydroponic ganja worth around Rs 23 crore from the accused.
“Acting on a tip-off, the sleuths raided a house within the
Madanayakanahalli police limits and arrested the suspects.
“The sleuths seized 10.27 kg of MDMA crystals valued at Rs
21 crore from their possession.
“The accused had come to India on medical and tourist visas.
