International Drug Syndicate Busted In India; Nigerians Among 3 Foreigners Held by Peterobiisathie(op): 2:52pm On Jul 27, 2025
In a major breakthrough, the UT police crime branch has dismantled an international drug syndicate operating in the Tricity, arresting three foreign nationals in a high-stakes operation.

The accused were caught red-handed while attempting to smuggle narcotics into the city.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Imoru Damian (31) and Okoye Nnamdi (31), both Nigerian nationals, and Toufe Yousouf (30) from Cape Town, South Africa. Police recovered significant quantities of cocaine and amphetamine, along with a Honda City car used in the operation.

The trio was produced in a local court and remanded to police custody for further interrogation.

According to SP Jasbir Singh, crime branch, Damian and Yousouf were residing in a rented flat in Kharar, Mohali, while Okoye was based in Delhi.
The crackdown began on July 22, when Damian was apprehended with 62.6g of amphetamine. He had entered India on a medical visa in 2021 and had overstayed illegally.

Damian's interrogation led to the arrest of his two accomplices. Okoye was found with 35.8g of cocaine and 5.73g of amphetamine, while Toufe, who arrived in India on a business visa in 2023, was caught with 34.85g of cocaine.

What's more alarming is the revelation that the trio operated in isolation, with handlers based abroad coordinating the network.

The syndicate sourced drugs from Delhi and targeted youth in the Tricity. Investigators also uncovered a disturbing link to a network of Nigerian students in Kharar, allegedly exploited for drug distribution.

So is that all what you could pick from my comments even though that might be typo suggestions?

As usual you will derail this thread without responding to the topic itself. Condemning of each other is a taboo to some of you

The most annoying thing is that once India ban us now the criminals will not blame themselves but keep pointing accusing fingers to everyone.

U will never hear about a crime from India n these people won't b there

Let India ban us now n they will push the problem to everyone except themselves

It's actually really funny how you and your likes always want to derail threads whenever the topic of discussion is not something favouring you.

See on this forum, I have passed the stage where anyone can mock me for my grammatical blunders. How many perfect comments have I made.. hahahaha

You guys should stick to the topic of discussion without always derailing . Imagine, and they will be repeating the same attitude steadily without even having any remorse.. Gosh

Enjoy the derailing as that would massage your egos

Pretty sure it is mainly the "developers" who travel to India to "develop" the nation so a ban will likely not bother Nigerians not from the SE lol.

That's a menace in a society because of the mentality of Get Rich quick syndrome. The aftermath, the consequences, they don't care as their reasonings is only about today alone, not tomorrow, their names or their people.

Everyone is a king, no one should be corrected even when obviously wrong. Hahahaha

"Nigeria-igbbo".
"Nigeria-yorubba"
"Nigeria - hausas"
"Nigeria-Edo" etc.

This disgrace is too much!
