“I Am HIV Positive” – Nigerian Man Arrested With 1.21Kg Of Heroin In India Says

A 38-year-old Nigerian national has been arrested with 1.21 kg heroin in India.

The man was reported to have been caught on a Mumbai-bound Rajdhani Express at Vadodara railway station, Ahmedabad, India on Wednesday, March 7.

The arrest is considered to be one of the biggest hauls of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in recent times.

Madubueze Nonso Charles, who was travelling in A5 coach of the train, was arrested around 3.30 am from the train by the Ahmedabad zone sleuths who had a specific information about him from the Delhi zonal unit.

“When we searched his luggage, we found three concealed food packets of pistachios and rice flour. On opening them, we found white powder and tests confirmed that it was heroin,” said Hari Om Gandhi, director of Ahmedabad zonal unit of NCB.

He added that Charles, who is living in Mumbai as as a clothes trader, is only a carrier while the sender is the drug dealers.

“During interrogation, he told us that he had received the consignment from another Nigerian. However, he has not revealed the name of the person,” said Gandhi.

“Charles was told that on reaching Mumbai he would get a call from a specific phone number. He had to tell his location to the caller,” said Gandhi.

NCB officials suspect that the receiver would also be a drug dealer as no consumer of heroin would buy the drug in such a large quantity.

“Often those addicted to heroin, buy around 50 grams since it is a costly drug,” Gandhi said.
