A 27-year-old Nigerian who entered India on a medical visa, overstayed illegally after its expiry in 2023, has been arrested in Delhi with 5.085 kg of methamphetamine worth over ₹10 crore, with the UP special task force (STF) alleging that he was a key member of an international romance scam syndicate that duped Indians.

The accused, Obase Prosper, was arrested in a joint operation by the UP STF and the Narcotics Control Bureau, Delhi, on Friday.

Additional superintendent of police, STF, Vishal Vikram Singh said the accused was part of a Nigerian syndicate that allegedly created fake profiles on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, impersonating citizens of the United States and the United Kingdom.

“The gang befriended Indian men and women online, lured them into romantic relationships, and later claimed to be sending expensive gifts, foreign currency and valuables to India,” Singh said.

The STF said the investigation gathered pace after a Daligan resident alleged that he was befriended on Facebook by a woman using the identity of ‘Doris William’ from England. Investigators said the victim was allegedly cheated of nearly ₹68 lakh through repeated demands for customs duty, GST and other charges. He was also allegedly sent a forged Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) certificate to make the fraud appear genuine.

A case was registered at Madiaon police station in Lucknow.

The STF said another Nigerian national, Uchenwa, was arrested in the same case from Delhi on May 15, 2026, while Prosper had remained absconding.

When the STF cyber team reached Delhi to apprehend him, local intelligence suggested that Prosper was also involved in narcotics trafficking. Acting on the input, the STF coordinated with the NCB Delhi zonal unit, leading to a joint raid in which officers seized 5.085 kg of methamphetamine, five mobile phones and two passport.

If I analyse this crime for what it truly is, some overzealous human bot will promptly accuse me of insulting Igbos and hand me a ban. Better to walk away and not even bother checking the names.

Peter Obi said Tinubu is persecuting political opponents, I'm now beginning to see some truth in that. As it stands now, it appears Obi's labour is about to be in vain again.

They said Tinubu is their boss. Is okay. What is increasingly evident is that Peter Obi may be fighting the wrong battle, because it is Tinubu who appears to be steadily reshaping, or eroding the very political ground on which Obi's support rests.

You'll see him in Lagos with a Gwagon and if you're not confident you will start comparing his age and achievements with yours.
Don't envy people coz you know nothing about their lives.

It’s really funny the way ya all always talking about not having a good leader is the reason for all these embarrassment. How about we should talk about being a good citenzen instead because that’s where leaders emerged from.

if una look very well, all these big boy into drugz. its fastest way to make big big billions in months. all those people who u dont know their source of income that become rich within few months, check them, they are into drugz production deep inside forest. mind u, for every one caught, 50 are not caught.see as e do eyes like rat, knowing he will be be bailed and not deported, as this is his first time caught. no wonder saudi arabia and Indonesia dey execute drug dealers without wasting time.

This crime has really increased because of Tinubu as the president of Nigerian.

All these boys are learning from him.
