Nigerian Man Nabbed in India with Drûgs Valued Over N214 Million
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) in Bengaluru, India, has apprehended a Nigerian national involved in drug trafficking during a recent raid. The suspect, named Chukwuma, was caught while attempting to distribute narcotics in the Avalahalli area of northern Bengaluru.
The Narcotics Wing of the CCB swiftly executed a coordinated operation, confiscating MDMA and crystal substances worth over Rs 1.2 crore (approximately N214 million).
Initial investigations reveal that Chukwuma has been active in the drug trade since 2013. Authorities believe he imported these narcotics from overseas, distributing them mainly across Bengaluru, with a focus on the city’s outskirts.
His activities are reportedly linked to an international drug cartel. Officials confirmed that Chukwuma had been under close watch for several weeks before his arrest.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities intensifying efforts to dismantle the entire drug network and identify other collaborators. Chukwuma remains in custody as interrogations continue to aid the probe.
