The Bengaluru city police in India arrested five people, including a Nigerian, for drug peddling in two separate cases.
Marijuana, charas (hashish) and other narcotic substances worth several lakhs of rupees were seized, Deccan Chronicles reported.
The accused have been identified as 30-year-old Okonkwo Basil Ndubisi a Nigerian, and a resident of DGS Layout in Maragondanahalli off T. C. Palya Main Road, and Abbas Mustan Seer Zanjeer Barwala, 23, who hails from Mumbai and a resident of Adugodi.
According to the police, they received a tip off about two people supplying narcotic substances to college students and software professionals. The police arrested the duo and seized 4.2 kg of ganja, 120 gram of charas and five grams of cocaine from them. “Ndubisi had come to India on student visa, which had expired and he had not renewed it.
It is not the first time the Nigerian would be arrested for offences related to drug peddling.
In 2015, he was arrested by the Mico Layout police for selling drugs and the trial is on. Barwala had joined Ndubisi to make easy money by selling drugs in small sachets at higher prices. Another Nigerian was supplying them narcotics, and efforts are on to nab him,” the police said.
