One Nigerian national arrested for peddling drugs in Delhi

One Nigerian national was arrested by the Narcotics Squad of West Delhi police on Monday for peddling drugs in the city. He was arrested in Delhi’s Janakpuri area and police recovered 302 grams of heroin worth approximately Rs 1 crore.

Police have identified the man as Aboh Casmir Arinze from Nigeria.

Police said that the accused came to India in September 2019 on a medical visa but did not return to Nigeria after his visa expired. Then he started selling clothes and eventually got into peddling drugs.

He told the police that he was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) act earlier. Police are verifying his claim.

Police are now tracing another Nigerian national from whom the accused bought the drugs.
