Nigerian Woman Arrested In India’s Bengaluru For Large-Scale Drug Trafficking
A 40-year-old Nigerian woman, Roselime Oluchi Ikeoha, has been arrested by the Anti-Narcotics wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in Bengaluru, India, on charges of large-scale drug trafficking.
Authorities recovered 12 kilograms of MDMA, a potent narcotic, from her possession.
Ikeoha allegedly used her grocery shop in TC Palya as a front to peddle drugs to her customers.
City Police Commissioner B. Dayananda confirmed the arrest, describing it as one of the largest drug busts in the city.
According to Dayananda, “This is one of the biggest drug seizures in Bengaluru and Karnataka.
The Narcotics Control Wing of the CCB team successfully dismantled an MDMA crystal drug network, which is international in scope.
They recovered 12 kg of pure white and yellow MDMA, with a total value of approximately ?24 crore.”
Ikeoha, who arrived in Bengaluru on a business visa five years ago, had overstayed as her visa had expired.
During interrogation, she reportedly confessed to her involvement in illegal activities, including drug sales.
As Dayananda noted, “She admitted to making illegal money by selling drugs at inflated prices.” An investigation is underway to identify Ikeoha’s suppliers and uncover the role of a Mumbai-based woman believed to be connected to the network.
The case has been filed under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Foreigners Act.
