Three Nigerian men and a Brazilian woman, who were allegedly carrying 6.492kg of cocaine, worth ?38.95 crore, concealed in the rings stitched on curtains for it to pass through the rod, were arrested from Andheri (West) Mumbai, on Sunday morning, February 10.

The men identified as Febia Onkonkwo, Simon Agbata, and Michel Hope, along with a Brazilian woman identified as Carla Pinto Iris, were arrested under various sections of the NDPS Act.

The seized drugs were supposed to be supplied to Johannesburg, South Africa and Auckland, New Zealand.



Police had got a tip-off that three Nigerian men and a Brazilian woman were carrying narcotics in their bags, but on intercepting them, they only found curtains in the bags.

“Our team grew suspicious on finding so many curtains,” said Manoj Kumar Sharma, additional commissioner of police, west region.

The team, headed by police inspector Daya Nayak, then started to check the curtains. On opening the rings, they found thin tubes containing white powder fitted around it. Each of the 78 curtains had eight rings carrying cocaine.

The police seized the substance and arrested the four accused – Niras Okhovo, 35, Simon Agobata, 32, Michael Hope, 29, and Brazilian national Karle Iris, 41 – who were on their way to meet a fifth accused, after which they were to send it via courier.


The woman, who was arrested in connection with a drugs case, was released from Byculla jail recently.

Police have also retrieved the machine which the accused used to roll the tubes. A raid at the Koparkhairane residence of the accused led the police to multiple passports, but none of them is in their names.

“The fifth accused is absconding. We will arrest him soon. We are also tracking the courier companies that sent the consignments in the international market. We are enquiring whether they have any role in it or not,” said Nayak.

A source said they suspect the cocaine was initially sourced from Afghanistan and was supplied to dealers in the international market.

Police said they will be able to ascertain the supplier after further interrogation of the accused. Sources said they have so far retrieved three courier receipts from the accused, two of which are to Johannesburg and one to Auckland. Police said one of their consignments recently reached South Africa, which will reach the destination soon.

"We were surprised upon recovering a number of curtains, curtain rings and rods from them. The drugs were being concealed inside the curtain rings and rods, and packed in small boxes to hide from agencies. We are also verifying if courier agencies are involved in the smuggling. As of now, probe has revealed that the accused has already supplied one consignment to South Africa" Manoj Kumar Sharma said,

"This seems to be a bigger international drug cartel and we are digging deeper to reach this gang. The involvement of some Indians cannot be denied," he added.

All the accused were produced before the Bandra magistrate court and sent to police custody till February 16.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA!

This is an appeal to all Nigerians living or visiting any part of the world.

Please anytime you see IGBO people at any airport or streets around the world, call police - you will be saving the lives of other Nigerians.

I have called the police for over three dozen IGBOs at airports and cities in Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa, many were found with drugs, 419 gear and other contraband on their person or at their homes.

As a Nigerian you can spot them easily by some traits.

If you want to get more respect at airports, cities, and streets as a Nigerian, you need to ensure the people responsible for the bad reputation of Nigerians abroad are stopped.

Research shows that many places where blacks (not just Nigerians) face sudden humiliation, racism, rejection and abuse were caused by IGBO drug dealers and 419 operatives having been in the news for the wrong reasons. The recent one I saw even black American men are now stopped and searched in Japan because of IGBO drug dealer and criminals there. Hotels in some Asian countries now refuse blacks thanks to IGBOS, Thai police now have a task force for blacks until I educated them on IGBOs. Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Dubai, and many others think blacks should be banned at airports since IGBOs started the drug trade and 419 there - The list goes on. Everywhere I have asked for data on Nigerian criminal activities I get IGBO names, anywhere I go ontrips and check for black criminals - IGBO people emerge!

IGBO people have for over 50 years destroyed the Nigerian passport in all corners of the globe leading to ill treatment and humiliation of innocent Nigerians daily at many airports and cities around the world.

Because of religion and stupidity, most Nigerians tend to accept collective blame for crimes that are predominantly done by IGBOs - they are simply described as Nigerians!

husband name should be Kwame. Nigeria dey look like that?

addey44:
Where is his own wife?

She abandoned him.

senatordave1:
The apc color too fine oh,e fine pass yeye pdp color.

I see you point, the color will fix Nigeria's problems...

The ballot boxes will not decide elections in Nigeria - Rigging does.
Teach them how to deal with rigging not voting, makes no sense!

Clerverly:
He is just being sincere:

They put a good fight but the numbers are not just adding up for them

It has nothing to do with numbers, Buhari has already put rigging machinery in place.. his relative is in charge of counting the numbers, he has put in a chief justice in case of court cases, the security services favor him - Buhari is an election criminal!

It must be very difficult for Buhari to put on this show due to heavy local and international pressure.
Buhari is the most corrupt (by proxy) individual in Nigeria - He has fooled so many stupid Nigerians and still doing so.

H definitely was not a coward like Ojukwu who started a war then fled with his tail between his legs.

If there are no stupid Nigerians there wont be pastors....leave the pastors alone jare!

beach or gutter?

If you want to stop Buhari block rigging.
Nigerian voters dont win elections, rigging does!

Instead of calling police for these igbo drug dealers and criminals.

LIAR, so far he is doing "return some money and go free" - ONLY with opposition!
Recover the money Tinubu stole from Lagos
Recover the money Abba Kyari and Mamman Daura are taking from people with EFCC cases then free them.

BUHARI IS A CORRUPT LIAR

typical yoruba boy boy for mallams, he gets nothing but he continues

The person he belongs to is not a loud mouth like Tinubu, his name is Mamman Daura!

SalamRushdie:
Buhari will lose Lagos In Jesus Name

Jesus has nothing to do with anything in Lagos or this world for that matter, you people need to enter 21st century,
Only the people can stop it!

What he was trying to say is

Buhari Will RIG 2019 Presidential Election

Sirlins:
May God continue saving us in this country

Yes, keep putting your fate in the hands of something no one can prove while you are being killed off slowly.
stupid Nigerians!
ape mentality!

Stupid Nigerians might believe your lies about a god you cannot prove, you are lucky to be selling 419 religious lies to mugus. enjoy!

SouthEastFacts:
This thread is SA vs Nigeria but the inherent bitterness that runs in your blood will not allow you to shun tribalism.

If you like shout Igbo tire we know the drug lords in Nigeria. Name 1 known Igbo land that has been convicted of drug trafficking and I will name 5 from your waste land.

1, What is described as Nigerian criminals in SA is actually a single animalistic tribe called IGBOs so shut up and listen!!!
2, Every act of violence against Nigerians, Zimbabweans and other non SA blacks is as a result of the activities of IGBO criminals.
3, Nigerians are religious and forgiving people so they are willing to accept the criminality and subsequent retribution caused by IGBOs who are simply described as "Nigerians".

If the vast majority of Nigerians are stupidly docile in calling out the cancer that is afflicting them globally due to the activities of IGBO I am not one of those! fcu.k off!

In Nigeria she is considered special but in civilized countries this shapeless fake will not find boyfriend easy let alone husband!

Another stupid Nigerians who still wont realize that voting does not win elections in Nigeria, rigging does!

aguiyi2:
Poverty induced act.Looking at her,one will realise that she needs urgent financial redemption.

More like primitive induced act, children can be punished without physical abuse!

Because Buhari is a coup plotter, the election is already rigged and he will not accept defeat like GEJ!

SouthEastFacts:
Drug is still better than mining skull

Monkey, If you add killing Nigerians with fake goods and baby factories for rituals it is not looking good for the tribe of get rich or die trying!

SouthEastFacts:
Stupid afonja

Ape

an educated man in this day and age inside overpopulated Nigeria having battalion children!

TheMoniker:
He didn’t wanna come back to Nigeria, he prefer to die than come back here.
Buhari is a mistake

No, his parents is the mistake - Do not have children if you have no economic plans for them!

Born and dump in the system for government or western world to look after is the problem!

Italians are not sending their children to Africa because they have 1-2 kids that they can cater for not -5-6-7-8

bedspread:
[s][/s] your words are Disgusting

IGBOs are disgusting!
A disgrace to Nigeria and Africa.
The tribe that has led to the bad treatment and deaths of many Nigerians, Africans and black people!

jail for the bitch

now he knows how Africans feel when they are exploited by whites

you are a mad person for even asking!

anyone who believes in heaven and hell in 2019 is a monkey!
