A 30-year-old Nigerian man, identified as Emeka John, has been arrested with cocaine in India. The suspect who is a resident of Mini Gulshan Colony in Tolichowki, was allegedly engaged by another Nigerian drug peddler from Mumbai to sell the drug in the city on a commission basis.
Assistant excise superintendent N Anji Reddy said, “The kingpin of the racket operating from Mumbai was known with a code name ‘Government’. Emeka saved his number with the same name. Usually, the kingpin used to receive the drug from an unidentified source, which was handed over to Emeka who sold it for Rs 6,000 per g. As Emeka does not have a passport, we lodged a complaint with Banjara Hills police asking them to book a case under the Foreigners Act.”
