Navi Mumbai Police arrested three Nigerian nationals and seized 252.5 grams of cocaine worth ₹1.26 crore during raids in Vashi under the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat 2028’ campaign. Police said the accused were allegedly linked to an international narcotics syndicate operating in the region.

Navi Mumbai, May 21: In a major crackdown against narcotics trafficking under the ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat 2028’ campaign, the Navi Mumbai Police Crime Branch arrested three Nigerian nationals during a combing operation in Vashi’s Juhugaon area and seized high-grade cocaine worth Rs 1.26 crore.

The Anti-Narcotics Cell conducted simultaneous raids at four locations in Juhugaon after receiving specific information that a group of Nigerian nationals was stockpiling narcotics for distribution.
During the operation, police raided a house at Hariyali Nivas (House No. 522/3) and apprehended the main accused, identified as Oliver Okechukwu Ugwu (47).

“During the search, we recovered two separate packets containing cocaine-like white powder weighing 146.8 grams and 105.7 grams respectively, collectively valued at Rs 1.26 crore. The total quantity of the seized contraband was 252.5 grams,” police said.

Two more accused arrested after interrogation
Based on Ugwu’s interrogation, police identified and arrested two more alleged members of the drug racket — Maduyabuki Cosmos Igweoma (49) and Enosent Dada Lavians (35) — from Kopri village.
All three accused were produced before a court, which remanded them to police custody till May 22.
Apart from the cocaine, police also seized 12 expensive mobile phones of different brands and cash allegedly used in the operation.

Police said two more accused, identified as Simian Ekene and Emmanuel Onoyonam, are wanted in the case and efforts are underway to trace them.
Probe into wider drug syndicate underway
Officials are now probing the wider network of the international drug syndicate and investigating who the accused intended to supply the narcotics to in Navi Mumbai.

The investigation is being led by Senior Police Inspector Sandeep Nigde, in-charge of the Anti-Narcotics Cell.

The operation was carried out under the guidance of Assistant Commissioner of Police Dharmapal Bansode by a team comprising Senior Police Inspector Prithviraj Ghorpade, Police Inspector Sandeep Nigde, Assistant Police Inspectors Nilesh Dhumal, Devendra Ovhal, Tushar Mane, Yogesh Deshmukh and other officers.

This is no longer funny! I wonder if an innocent Nigerian can walk freely on any Indian street without being profiled as a drug pusher by law enforcement due to the notorious acts of a few unscrupulous Nigerians!

The innocents will now share in the punishment of these bad eggs...it is well!

Any deal /business that will eventually end up being looking for by anyone, stay away from it. May be you will make money for 5-10 years and then get locked up for the rest of your life.

Some deals, the profits is very good but when you consider the risk, bro, think twice.
