Five Nigerians have been arrested for allegedly trafficking in drugs in India and Malaysia.
A
35-year-old Nigerian, Uche Sylvester, who used to traffic drugs between
Mumbai and Delhi, was arrested in the capital and 100 grams of cocaine
was recovered from him, the Times of India reported on Sunday.
Sylvester was arrested near the Delhi airport on Thursday while returning from Mumbai, police said on Friday.
Indian
Narcotics Control Bureau had earlier arrested three Nigerians for
allegedly trying to smuggle out heroin worth Rs 2.50 crore from the
Asian country.
Ude Chidi and Obumuneme Nwachukwu were arrested in New Delhi in separate alleged drug smuggling attempts.
Also, Ikechukuri Otuata, (32) was arrested after he was found in possession of 64g of cannabis.
He was arrested on Friday at the Saligao junction during routine late-night patrol by police sub-inspector Akshay Amonkar.
Since
he was behaving suspiciously, the police team detained him for
questioning and a search resulted in the discovery of 64g of cannabis
from him.
Otuata was later detained in police custody for further investigation.
Meanwhile,
a 27-year-old Nigerian registered as a student of a private college in
Kuala Lumpur since June last year, was found with 0.85kg of
methamphetamine concealed in a special compartment in his laptop bag, New Straits Times reported on Sunday.
Malaysian
custom chief Siti Baya said the man was detained by Customs when his
laptop bag showed a suspicious image when it was scanned on his arrival
from Lagos.
